Night Nurse , Young Love, Our Love Story ,
Young Romance bronze age comics
Romance comics boomed after World War II. .
During this period comic readership was at its height, and
adults, both men and women, were a major piece of the market.
For the first and last time, adult women were major consumers of
comics. Their protagonists were almost
always working women, and their problems were often quite
realistic. Workplace power struggles between the sexes,
out-of-wedlock children, marital infidelity, and divorce were
tackled between stories of pure escapist fantasy.Working women
saw representations of themselves as intelligent & modern.
