Read about it but haven't read it. It's supposed to be "realistic" romance, which could be an interesting contrast.
I'd like to nominate "Kathy's Kooky Kards" (Nutty Notes! Swingin' Stationary! with spelling mistake!) for best Romance Story Business.
Excellent review of MHBIH; Steranko had more going on than I realized in that story.

Well, I wasn't sure if they were so devious as to put "stationary" and "swingin'" together as a joke. But if they did it on purpose, it's certainly groovy.

Another Romance Redux ("Restraining Orders are for Other Girls") came out, last week I guess, with more great rewrites of classic romance. Kyle Baker's was especially weird, good weird, but weird. Robert Loring Fleming's was ... drivelicious!

Got Guys & Dolls & Restraning Orders. Wasn't wowed. The G&D cover was great, but I just don't like the other one.
I've picked up most of I Heart Marvel. It turns out the one I liked most --- the Spidey and MJ one -- was the one I almost didn't get.

Actress in a supporting role: Nan from "Patsy's Secret Boyfriend", who helps teach us to always give our friends the benefit of the doubt before we accuse them of being man-hungry sluts!
Actor in a supporting role: Tom from "One Day A Week", who shows us that true love wins out, even if your girlfriend is vaguely dissatisfied, easily fooled and wants to live in the cab of a truck!
Worst hairdo: Sally Rogers from "Give Back My Heart". Good Lord! What the hell was that terrifying mess all about? And you mean she never changed her style in FOUR YEARS?
Most melodramatic splash page: "JILTED!" Y'think it's over? I get the feeling that it IS.
Best artwork: Jim Steranko, for "My Heart Broke in Hollywood". Best Steranko artwork I've ever seen.
Worst pickup line: "You little FOOL!" used by both Whitey in "Jilted" and Art Nelson in "I Want Him-- But He's Hers!"
Biggest Name Screw-Up: "The Dream World of Doris Wilson", in which our heroine is actually named Doris Nelson.
Best original story that was REDUXED: "I Do my Own Thing-- No Matter Whom I Hurts", which was brilliantly reduxed into the hilarious "President Stripper".
Cutest boy: Stephen from "As Time Goes By", as drawn by Gene Colan.
Cutest girl: Kathy, from "Love Isn't In The Cards For Me", as drawn by J. Buscema, J. Romita & F. Giacoia.
Girl that most resembles Teeds: Joellen Jacobs, from "Formula For Love".
best 'FLOATING-HEAD' scene: The splash page of "One Day A Week", where the visage of Tom the trucker looks not unlike it is carved into the mountain like Rushmore!
Actress in a lead role: Jill, from "A Teen-Ager Can Also Love", who teaches us that if we put our own emotional and physical needs aside and focus all our energies on a has-been teen idol, he will again become famous and then years later, marry us.
Actor in a lead role: How can I not give it to Humphrey Bogart, from "As Time Goes By".
Best story: "I Do My Thing-- No Matter Whom It Hurts". . . . .
