The late 1940s are generally thought of as a low point in comics history because of the demise of the Golden Age super-heroes, but in fact comics never before and rarely since enjoyed a larger, more diverse, and more adult readership than in those years. As a result, several genres, including romance, crime, and horror comics, emerged to cater to older readers, with more sophisticated stories and themes and a harder edge to their material.

 

Love Letters, from Quality Comics, came out quickly on the heals of the first romance comics from Simon and Kirby, Young Love and Young Romance. Love Letters took its cue from those pioneering titles, offering bittersweet tales of temptation, betrayal, class conflict, and emotional violence that belied the image of sappy sentimentalism that later overtook the love comics genre. Artists like Bill Ward and Reed Crandall helped lift the standard even higher.
