What woman wouldn't like a man that had a horse?

Romance Renegade
Charlton Comics
Cowboy Love
Number 29
1955

This is the one and only Cowboy Love issue I have in my collection. In fact I have never had the opportunity to read another issue and I am a little leery of typing "Cowboy Love" in my search engine.

I really enjoy the art in this issue so I wanted to share this story in its entirety.

Why As Told to Stan Lee?

When I first discovered romance comics I was amazed. How had I never known that something so ridiculously wonderful existed? Romance stories where girls (which apparently ALL women prefer to be called, not just me!) were never truly complete without a man by their side. Girls that wanted nothing more than a boy to take them away from their day-to-day lives as store clerks, socialites, or, god forbid, unpopular high school students. *gasp*

Some of the best stories were from Marvel, where many of them touted "As Told to Stan Lee". Now don't get me wrong, Stan Lee rules, but I refuse to believe that any girl ever felt compelled to pour out her soul to him and then let him publish it all in comic form.

These comics where full of loneliness, "hip slang", rich men and misunderstood bad boys just waiting for the right girl to come along.

So, lets forget all about Elizabeth Gaskell and Jane Austen. Let's sit down and enjoy stories of secretaries and the architects that will let them quit their jobs and support them.

Romance - As you like it!
