About this product

Product Information

The Coloring Covers featured in our New Romance Comic Coloring Book series was originally published during the 1940's, '50's and through out the early '60's. The stories featured in these popular heartthrob newsstand magazines were almost always told from a woman's perspective. Soap-opera like scripts involved boy-meets girl, marriage, affairs and any other tear-jerking romantic interlude you can imagine. Although the cover titles teased risque, they consistently delivered PG. In the end, everyone lived happily ever after. Unless of course you were a flirty, two-timing bad girl or an insufferable Cad. Then you always got your comeuppance in the final few panels. The many artists who contributed to this popular genre which began in 1947 had already created many famous characters including Captain America and Captain Marvel. In the future they would go on to create or co-create the likes of Spiderman, The Fantastic Four, The X-Men, Iron Man and many others who today are household names, and multimedia stars. The covers in the Romance Comic Coloring Books series are taken from the original scans of the covers. Due to the poor conditions or age of some of them, considerable PhotoShop work was called for. Every effort was taken to preserve the original look and style. All the original colors were removed to create these black and white coloring pages. Typefaces were also substituted to enhance readability, but ne of the headlines were rewritten so as to preserve the titillation value. Some of you may have enjoyed reading romance comics growing up. And for some of you, they may be a totally new experience. Either way, get out your colored markers and pencils, put aside the troubles of the day. Just have fun and color already! P.S. Don't forget the Chocolate!

Author Biography
About Bernard O'Connor: I grew up in the late fifties and early sixties. Being a child of the space-age I was surrounded by comics. This was due in part to my older sister, Barbara, who was an avid comic reader. But she and her friends read those Girly romance comics. I, on the other hand, was obsessed with super heroes, monsters, horror and sci-fi comics. But when Barbara wasn't around, I'd seek-a-peek at her Girly books. After all there were plenty of beautifully drawn pictures of girls in bathing suits, Tennis outfits and short-shorts for a young boy to ogle, er, I meant appreciate the impressive artwork. When I grew older I became a graphic designer and comics, or as they are called today, graphic novels took on a whole new meaning. Actually one must now appreciate the craftsman or womanship that went into to creating these monthly romance masterpieces. That's why I created the Romance Comic Coloring Book series, so these long forgotten comics can be introduced to a whole new audience. I live in rural Pennsylvania with my wife Cathy who is also a graphic designer and accomplished Glass Mosaic Artist. We share our house with two crazed Bichons, a handful of Parakeets and the yard with an occasional garbage ransacking bear.
