From the annals of romance comic history come the stormiest, most tempestuous, heart-throbbing stories about the rough, tough road to true love. One the scarcest of the DC Fireside hardcover comics. Features works by John  Romita, John  Rosenberger, Mike Sekowsky, Carmine Infantino, Bernard Sachs, Scott Pike and many more.

After the pulp romance books so popular during the thirties and early forties began failing after World War II, romance tales finally found a home in comic books. Girls of all ages were picking them up and writing in for advice from the late 1940s into the latter part of the twentieth century. The common theme in these stories were that they were wholesome stories about good, clean romantic fun almost always with a happy ending for the heroine telling the tale. True love is everywhere, especially in the pages of Young Romance, Falling in Love, Heart Throbs, Secret Hearts, Girls’ Love Stories and Young Love. This book contains some of the finest art and stories from DC’s stable of romance titles collected by Naomi Scott.
