Adventures in Romance #1 certainly was an influence to Paul Dini as well as comic books layouts to follow in the majors (DC in particular). You'll see it, but I was quickly struck by the lighting and style of the cover: if this wasn't an influence on the Batman Animated Aventures opening sequence, I'll be damned.
I'm a new-found St John comics fan! |

Someone must have been having a bad hair day or something when they rated these two, so I have just upgraded them.
Beautiful Work.
Dana Dutch - impressive writer. Another one I can't find much about. |

Notes | Giant Comics Editions (St. John, 1948 Series) #12, a book made up of re-bound cover-less St. John publications, has as part of it's contents a coverless Adventures #1. That section contains 32 pages and does not include the original comic's covers. The last story (The Black Lily) ends at an odd spot, almost implying a finish on the inside back cover.
Keith Chandler : The story DOES conclude (in black and white) on the inside back cover.
Writer and art credits confirmed by Starr in Alter Ego #111 (July 2012). |
