About a year after Joe Simon and Jack Kirby launched the comic book romance genre with Young Romance #1 in 1947, Marvel/Atlas publisher Martin Goodman debuted Marvel's first romance title, My Romance.
The title was quickly altered to My Own Romance with issue #4 to make room for a non-comics Atlas magazine called My Romance, and Marvel was off to the races in the romance genre. Within two years, the publisher had launched a staggering 31 romance titles, with most of them quickly failing. But this flagship romance series remained one of the Marvel success stories of the period, lasting 76 issues 1948-1950.
