YOUNG ROMANCE: THE BEST OF SIMON & KIRBY’S ROMANCE COMICS

In the late 1940s Joe Simon and Jack Kirby set the comics world on fire with romance comics. Exciting innovative and beautifully drawn these stories aesthetically remain a high point in both artists careers. These two towering titans of the field produced stories for titles such as Young Romance Young Love and Western Love for over 12 years until Kirby moved on to a little-known outfit called Marvel Comics where he would become the unrivaled King of Comics and co-creator (along with Stan Lee) of many of the most iconic characters in American history such as the Fantastic Four The Hulk Iron Man X-Men Thor etc. Young Romance: The Best of Simon & Kirbys 1940s-50s Romance Comics brings this wonderful work back to light by reprinting 21 stories in full-color from 13 years of Simon and Kirbys romance comics: 200 pages of never-before reprinted material painstakingly restored over a five-year period by award-winning artist and animator Michel Gagn (Flight Star Wars: Clone Wars).
