A Boy, A Girl, A Tree, A Bike

My Love #6, 1970
No sarky comment on this one; it's just a lovely splash page that has a tree in the foreground with a bike leaning against it. You wouldn't get that in any other 1970's Marvel comic. Also; Gene Colan and Sal Buscema did quite a few of these romance stories, but I can't think of them working together on any of the Marvel superhero titles. Not that it matters; Colan was a master at drawing the human form in civilian clothes, and seeing these non-costume figures just underlines the fact that the loss of this genre from the main publishers was one of the worst things to happen to the American comics industry.
