Negro Romance

Add links
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Negro Romance depicts characters who conformed to mainstream ideals of attractiveness in the 1950s, rather than stereotypical African-American depictions

Negro Romance is a romance comic book published in the 1950s by Fawcett Comics. It is remarkable in eschewing African-American stereotypes, telling stories interchangeable with those told about white characters. The comic even mentions college, which was relatively uncommon in the 1950s, even more so among African-Americans. Negro Romance ran for only three issues and the first issue was published in June 1950.[1] The third and last issue was published in October, 1950.[2]

History

[edit]

Negro Romance was developed as an experiment in expanding into the romance market, conceived by editor Roy Ald, who was European-American, and written by him without credit. It was illustrated by Alvin Hollingsworth, the first African-American artist hired by Fawcett.[3][4]
