From The Same Twisted Team That Brought You Haunted Horror
San Diego, CA (February 14, 2014) – Happy Valentine’s Day! Love is in
the air and it smells WEIRD! It must be because IDW Publishing and Yoe
Books! have shacked up again to collect the most sexy, bizarre, sick,
twisted, politically incorrect, kinky “romance” comics of the 1950s and
beyond in WEIRD Love.
"Amazingly
in the repressed 1950s and the anything-goes 1960s in some so-called
'romance' comics, there were some stories jaw-dropping sick, perverse,
strange, kinky, twisted, and by today's standards horribly politically
incorrect. Only some kind of depraved person would now reprint them,”
says Craig Yoe, “So, I am very excited and proud to be reprinting these gems!"
The aberrant spawn of our weird love will be released into the world
this May. The bi-monthly comic, (and we hope you aren't prejudice
against bi-monthlies), will publish such luridly illustrated pulp comics
classics like “Love of a Lunatic,” “I Fell for a Commie,” “I Liked
Older Men,” and “There's No Romance in Rock 'n Roll.” More bizarro
stories will include “I Was Too Beautiful,” “I Was A Pickup,” “I Joined a
Teenage Sex Cult,” not to mention “You Also Snore, Darling!” These are
sure to elicit a fair amount of “OMG-I-Can’t -Believe-This!” moments,
we promise.
This full-color collector’s edition which begins the WEIRD Love
series “ends” with a pre-code comics ode to the female derrier(!). No
wonder the censors wanted this stuff banned! Sure to be a must-have
big-buzz comic—and it's bargain-priced! Who says love isn’t cheap?
