Founded in 1946, the American Comics Group survived the post-Code crash that wiped out so many other publishers. ACG specialized in genre anthologies; in fact, its Adventures into the Unknown was the first regularly published horror comic. ACG’s romance titles were like their other books: competent, if somewhat bland, riffson standard plots drawn in the cleanly realistic style of the era. That brings us to Ogden Whitney. Whitney was a veteran of the comics biz known for his sleek line work and graceful compositions. He  \nwrote and drew his own material, including the stories compiled in Return to Romance: The Strange Love Stories of Ogden Whitney (New York Review). Originally published in the early 1960s, these romance comics are indeed “strange”in comparison to others of the era. The complicated plots flip the script on romance comics clichés. A dowdy wife transforms herself into a Bettie Page lookalike to save her marriage (image left); a boxer on the run from his past gets a job as whipping boy for a dressmaker; a distaff daredevil breaks it off with her wimpy boyfriend. A loving look at a genre teetering on the brink of social change, Return to Romance is available at Central and Tates  \nCreek.  \nOGDEN WHITNEY  \nEC FORTHEE, SEE?  \nA longtime leader in independent comics, Dark Horse Comics has become one of the prime movers of this, the Golden Age of Reprints.
