Hi Gang!
We are back with MORE Prize Comics in this our second Spotlight on the publisher.
This time we will be focusing mostly (but not completely) on their romance comic titles.
Simon & Kirby broke the romance genre in a teen-humor comic book called "My Date", cover-dated March 1947. Sales were good enough for Prize to negotiate a 50% profit sharing deal with S&K. They would go to court over that one later but meanwhile Prize would start with "Young Romance" #1 cover-dated September 1947. More titles would follow as the genre took off - "Young Love", "Western Love" and "Real West Romances" all in 1949. More followed with "Young Brides" (1952), "All for Love" (1957) and "Personal Love" (1957). Eventually DC would take over Young Love and Young Romance in 1963. They would publish them into the 1970s!
