With issue five, the focus of Girl Comics (the magazine) changes from romances to action adventure, and it's frankly a lot more unusual and fun.

I think I've just read the most historically inaccurate story ever. I love Golden Age romance comics.

Looks like a neat collection! This is pre-ComicsCode? I know a lot of female-centered USA comics ended around that enforcement iirc

It is pre-Code! I have a collection of both pre-and-post-Code romance comics, and there's a notable shift when the CCA came into play - no more sitting around in underwear for one, but also all endings turned happy and borderline SA was uniformly treated as romantic. (That's an issue post-Code, too, but not quite as noticeable.)All that said, Charlton Comics put out a series called Career Girl Romances post-Code, and it's one of my favorites - a lot of the 60s and 70s issues push the envelope!
Ooh! Sounds great and like something Ill add to my tbr!
