- found: Online, Feb. 15, 2002 Jenny Miller's Archive of Golden Age Romance Comics (on Office of Technology Assisted Learning site, Univ. of Maryland). A very brief history of romance comics: Romance comics were one of five major genres of adult comics which boomed after World War II. The so-called golden-age of comics begin in 1935 and ended at about the time of the self-imposed Comics Code of 1954. The main period of interest to this archive is the third phase of the golden era, from 1948 to 1954 ... For the first and last time, adult women were consumers of comics. And although the genre is largely dismissed by comics aficionados today, it was created by two of the most revered artists and writers of the time: Jack Kirby and Joe Simon, who kicked off Young Romance in 1947 ... by 1949 there were 120 romantic titles on the market, most of which were intended for an adult audience ... DC Comics carried a few romance titles into the late '70s, but by then the heyday of the romance comic had long passed)
