Young Love was one of the earliest romance comics titles, published by Crestwood/Prize, and later sold to DC Comics.

History

After the Sept/Oct 1947 release of Crestwood/Prize's genre-launching Young Romance comic, (arguably the first romance comic[1][2]), by the prolific team of Simon & Kirby sold "millions of copies",[1] the company (and duo) swiftly prepared a separate, spin-off title to capitalise on the success of this new genre. Launched amid imitators from (among others) Quality Comics, Fawcett Publications, Fox Features Syndicate and Timely Comics, Crestwood/Prize's companion title Young Love was released "less than a year and a half" after the debut of Young Romance, and also sold well.[1][2]

Publication history

Launched in February 1949, Young Love ran initially for 73 issues, until December 1956.[3] Four months later (Apr/May 1957), Prize launched All for Love, which ran for 17 issues until Feb/Mar 1959,[4] when it went on a year's hiatus, returning the following year and retitled Young Love. This retitled series then ran for 21 issues between February 1960 and June 1963,[5] whereupon Crestwood/Prize sold this – and other – titles to DC Comics, who produced a further 88 issues between 1963 and 1977.[6]

Declining sales

DC Comics

DC gained Crestwood/Prize's titles when Crestwood Publications stopped producing comics in 1963, and continued publishing their romance comics as "part of a reasonably popular romance line aimed at young girls" for nearly 15 years.[2]

Taking over publication of Young Love after 17 issues of All for Love and 21 of Young Love vol. 2, DC continued the original numbering, launching the newly branded title with Sept.-Oct. 1963's issue #39. Issues #107 (Dec. 1973-Jan. 1974) to #114 (Feb.-March 1975) of the series were in the 100 Page Super Spectacular format.[7] The revised series ran for almost 15 years, finally ceasing publication with July 1977's issue #126.[8]

Reprint

In 2012, #39–56 was reprinted in Showcase Presents Young Love Volume 1.

Awards

Young Love won the 1969 Alley Award for "Best Romance Title".
