Last issue! End of the romance eraGreat, historic cover by Oksner, the last cover ever printed in the DC/Marvel era of romance comics, effectively ending the romance era. Romance titles were omnipresent in comics for decades, petering out into the 70s with Young Love being the last holdout at DC. Oksner's wonderful cover showcases the story 'C.B. Romance' about a woman in a relationship with a man she has never seen. Pen and ink. Art is in excellent condition.
