Science Fiction is ok, I guess, but it isn't really real and probably never will be. These stories, on the other hand, are of life and love and we see it every day - or maybe only every other day for some - but even then, we can see it is what life is all about and it touches us all! Screw space monsters! 'Romance Without Tears' is an excellent history of one romance comicbook from the 40s/50s - My daughter bought it for me for Christmans and I highly recommend it.
