Fiction
Agonizing Love is a rich anthology of those legendary
romance comic books that once filled newsstands to
overflowing during their heyday in the 1940s and '50s. "I
Craved His Kisses," "With Hate in My Heart," "Kisses Came
Second," "Flame of Jealousy," "Was I a Wicked Wife?": these
stories are just a taste of the absolutely riveting dramas
that play out in the sob-racked pages of this evocative
collection. Agonizing Love—is there any other kind?—runs the
narrative gamut from honeymoon to heartbreak, first love to
total loss, marital bliss to marriage hell, and all the
stops in between. Throughout these colorful pages you will
find a diverse selection of cover art and stories enhanced
by a plethora of engaging quizzes ("Are You Ready for
Marriage?"), confessional letters from readers, informative
articles, tips on choosing the right man (or getting rid of
the wrong one!), and oh, so much more! Compiled and with witty, informative com-mentary by
pop-culture expert Michael Barson, Agonizing Love is an
irresistible treasure trove sure to please comic-book
lovers, soap-opera fans, and die-hard romantics who could
use a good slap in the face. This is a heartfelt, often
tear-drenched valentine to a long lost—but never to be
forgotten—era.
