Rebellion proudly presents the finest romance comics in British history in a spectacular volume! Curated by Eisner-nominated historian and artist David Roach, A Very British Affair explores the stratospheric rise of romance comics in postwar Britain with a selection of the greatest romance comics ever printed in the UK. This captivating collection unearths the sensual art and emotional writing that delighted generations of comics readers, featuring an eclectic mix of artists from Spain, Italy, and the UK.
Featuring over 50 comics stories, many of which have never been reprinted before, this lavish book pays tribute to the often uncredited creators who crafted an industry of love. Roach shines a spotlight on the Spanish and Italian artists who dominated romance, as well as the genre's forgotten female contributors, such as Jenny Butterworth, Pat Tourett, and Diane Gabbott.
Artists like Shirley Bellwood (Misty), Jordi Badía Romero (Creepy), and Enrique Badía Romero (AXA) grace the pages of this masterpiece, alongside comics icons like Mike Hubbard (Jane), Carlos Ezquerra (Judge Dredd), John M. Burns (Modesty Blaise), Purita Campos (Patty's World), Jesus Blaco (Steel Claw), Pepe Gonzalez (Vampirella), Jesus Redondo (Kitty Pryde), and Blas Gallego (Black Beth).
This extraordinary collection is a testament to the enduring power of romance comics and the talented artists who brought them to life.
