IDW Publishing and Yoe Books have announced the new bi-monthly comic series WEIRD Love, which will debut in May.
The series will be edited by comics historian, and creator of Yoe Books, Craig Yoe. "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 Yoe, "So, I am very excited and proud to be reprinting these gems!"
Stories will include "Love of a Lunatic," "I Fell for a Commie," "I Liked Older Men," and "There's No Romance in Rock 'n Roll." The full-color first issue will end with a pre-code ode to the female derrier.
IDW and Yoe Books have previously partnered on John K Presents Spumco Comic Book (see "Spumco Returns!"), and the collection of illustrator Steve Ditko's classic monster adaptations from the early 1960s (see "Ditko Monsters"), among others.
