Bold Fashion Choices--The Most 70s Romance Comic Ever!

Possibly the greatest cover in the history of romance comics:

Credits for this cover are sadly unknown, but man, isn't that just perfect? And the outfit...hubba hubba.

Maybe now that I've put the cover out there, people will start to cosplay like this at conventions...What? We can't have 70s romance comics cosplay? Says who?

I love that look on Greg's face...so ticked off at the lovely girl for daring to have a social conscience. Greg, let me tell you: with pants like that, you're never going to win the girl!

Everyone have a nice day, and lead a love crusade to someone's heart!!

Tender Love Stories #3 was from 1971

    There's a wonderful three-dimensionality to the art as well. The hippie girl really comes off the page.

    I LOVE old Romance comics! They are so magnificently wonderfully bad. And most of the heroes look like Hal Jordan, which I find rather amusing.

    I love Tender Love Stories! Such a shame there were only four issues published.

    Could be Bill Everett had something to do with the cover? I just read he was on staff at Skywald for "special effects."
