Make Your Own Romance Comics!!

Hey, why pay writers to come up with your romance comic stories...?

In the middle of Hollywood Confessions #1 (1949):

I suppose my first question would be, how many readers are going to have stories that would be appropriate for Hollywood Confessions? I mean, Kalamazoo Confessions, maybe...

Of course, it's possible that St.Johns/Jubilee ran this in all of their publications--they had a fair number of romance comics in their stable.

Anyway, if you did send in your story, sorry--Hollywood Confessions ended with issue 2. #3 was Hollwood Pictorial, and after that it became Hollywood Pictorial Western, a magazine with no comics content. There's no indication that any readers' stories were ever used, but again, that could have happened in other titles. Or maybe not.

St. Johns' comics stopped publishing in 1958, although the magazines went on for another decade. I like to think that, in some forgotten New York City warehouse, there are boxes and boxes full of true love stories sent in by readers, just waiting to be discovered by some entrepreneur ready to print the "confessions" of your grandparents...
