US publisher DC Comics has revealed the cover for DC Finest: Romance: Escape From Loneliness, the latest title in the line that also includes collections devoted to themes such as War, Horror and Science Fiction, as well as individual characters.
Collecting stories from romance titles such as Falling in Love and Girls’ Romances, the new 632 page collection will be published next January.
Love – and heartbreak – is in the air in this new DC Finest volume.
Return to those moonstruck days of the Silver Age, when comics readers everywhere could find an endless supply of romantic inspiration for 12 cents an issue in the peerless pages of DC’s legendary line of love story anthologies.
“These passionate tales of romance and intrigue, carefully crafted by a host of comics’ finest hands, including John Romita, Robert Kanigher, Mike Sekowsky, Phyllis Reed, and more, will leave you breathless and yearning for more!” say DC.
“Known for their bold storytelling and iconic imagery, many of these panels later became touchstones in the broader art world, influencing the graphic language of pop art and artists.”
