Here’s a sneak peek at the new Tales From My Spinner Rack! special Valentine’s Day episode featuring a look back at Marvel’s Romance titles from the late 1960s, titled “What’s Love Got to Do With It?”
At the end of the Silver Age, Marvel had a brand new distributor who didn’t care how many books it put out each month. Stan Lee and company introduced two new horror/mystery titles with Tower of Shadows and Chamber of Darkness and two new romance titles, My Love and Our Love Story, in the summer of 1969. All but forgotten today, these romance titles featured incredible art by the likes of John Romita, John Buscema, Gene Colan, and even Jim Steranko on one memorable story. And all the stories were written by—or “told to”—Stan Lee!
Tales From My Spinner Rack Episode 16 takes an in-depth look at some of these issues featuring new stories by some of Marvel’s greatest artists of the Silver Age. Even if romance comics aren’t your thing, you’ll want to see this artwork-filled new episode, which also features a look back at the surprising origin of the genre. Look for this all-new episode premiering on Feb. 14th!
