Another series that survived Marvel's 1948-1950 romance boom and bust, Lovers provides us with a particularly stark reminder of the changing conditions that motivated publisher Martin Goodman to go all in on the genre.
With superheroes on the decline at the time, the series took over the number from the famous female superhero title Blonde Phantom with issue #23. The new title lasted for a respectable 64 issues 1949-1957, managing to survive what was a tumultuous time for the comics industry in general and Marvel in particular.
