Description

Michelle Nolan, writer of the groundbreaking book "Love on the Racks- A History of American Romance Comics," provides a fascinating introduction to "Weird Love- That's The Way I Like It!," the second sleazy and stupefying volume in the series that "Wired" magazine calls "deranged genius!" You'll love, you'll hate these lurid stories- "Too Fat to Frug," "Men You Shouldn't Marry," "Leader of the Pack," "Love Slaves," "Stay Away From Married Men," "Trailer Park Girl- Flirtation on Wheels," "Mail-Order Marriage," "Thrill Crazy!," and other classics of Good Girl Art! There are first-person pulp confessionals like "I Was a Border Racket Girl," "I Was Too Beautiful," "I Was a Waterfront Girl," "I Was a Child Bride," "I Married a Monster," and much more cringe-worthy, laugh-riot comic book kitsch!

Author Biography:
