Classic Comics with Matthew B. Lloyd. Episode #29 Romance Comics

Tony Farina from Indie Comics Spotlight joins me for a discussion of the romance genre in comics. It’s barely a scratching of the surface as we look at some of the origins of the genre and as it developed over the years and integrates as a standard part of super-hero comics in the Silver and Bronze Age.
