Book excerpt: A first-time collection of the best romance comics of the 1950s, these brightly illustrated, naturalistic tales (originally published by Archer St. John and written by unrecognised comics master Dana Dutch) are about high school girls who may be inexperienced, but definitely have minds of their own. They choose the guys, not the other way round, and it is they who deal with life's difficulties on their own, not some cardboard Romeo who comes to save the day. Many of the stories are illustrated by Matt Baker, who achieved fame in the 1950s with Phantom Lady.
