Led by Sydney Heifler (romance comic historian), this roundtable of comics creators and experts examines how love stories have evolved in comics over time. History professor Michael Dooley (2020 Eisner Judge) discusses romance in early 20th-century newspaper strips, such as Nell Brinkley's groundbreaking, ornate Art Nouveau series "Golden Eyes and her Hero Bill." Rand Hoppe (Jack Kirby Museum & Research Center) and Bruce Simon (Jack Kirby Museum & Research Center) discuss post-WWII romance comics. John Lustig (Last Kiss), Thomas F. Zahler (Love and Capes), Jaime Jameson (comics creator and expert), and former Marvel creative director Jim Krueger (Earth X) look at modern depictions of love in comics, romance comics redux, graphic novels, and superhero comics.
