Young Romance
''Young Romance'' is a romantic comic book series created by Joe Simon and Jack Kirby for the Crestwood Publications imprint Prize Comics〔(Grand Comics Database: ''Young Romance'' )〕〔(Grand Comics Database: ''Young Romance'' #1 (Sept. 1947) )〕 in 1947. Generally considered the first romance comic,〔Ro, Ronin. ''Tales to Astonish: Jack Kirby, Stan Lee and the American Comic Book Revolution'' (Bloomsbury, 2004)〕〔(''Young Romance'' ), at Don Markstein's Toonopedia. Accessed May 27, 2008〕 the series ran for 124 consecutive issues under Prize imprint, and a further 84 (issues #125-208) published by DC Comics after Crestwood stopped producing comics.
==Background==
(詳細はEclipse Comics' 1988 collection of some of the earliest Simon & Kirby romance comics, Richard Howell writes that, "Romance has always been a major component in entertainment, be it novels, plays, or movies, but for over ten years after the first appearance of comic books, romance only had a token presence in their four-color pages".〔Howell, Richard, "Introduction" to ''Real Love - The Best of the Simon and Kirby Romance Comics" 1940s-1950s'' (Eclipse Books, 1988)〕 This changed in 1947 with the return from war of one of comics' earliest and best-known creative partnerships, that of Joe Simon and Jack Kirby, who had already created Captain America, the Boy Commandos and the Newsboy Legion.〔
Working for Hillman Periodicals, the two created a "teen-humor comic book called ''My Date''", cover-dated March 1947, which contained within its pages "ground-breaking" stories concerned with "comparatively faithful depictions of teen-age life, centering especially on romantic experiences and aspirations."〔 Arguably itself the first "romance comic," positive reaction to ''My Date'' allowed Simon to negotiate a deal with Crestwood publishers Teddy Epstein and Paul Blyer (or "Bleier") "before the four-issue run of ''My Date'' had run more than half its course",〔 and to receive an unheard of 50% share of profits in return for producing their follow-up for that company.〔
