One of the things I have always found fascinating about romance comics is that they were designed to be consumed by a female audience and were almost always presented from the perspective of young women -- and yet for the most part, the creative process was carried out by men.With the exception of columnists Marc and Paul, romance comic stories and featurettes were primarily told from the point of view of the female characters and presented the hottest fashions, advice and trends for young women.
Not this week! Today marks the start of the first theme week at Sequential Crush, and as you may have guessed by now, the next few days will be all about romance from the "Guy's Point of View!" So sit back, enjoy, and let's get things started with the second page of "Mad Mad Modes for Moderns" from Girls' Romances #145 depicting the most handsome fashions of December 1969!
