A lavish celebration of the very best romance comics produced in twentieth century Britain. From famed masters to unsung heroes, this collection presents over fifty comics detailing the trials, tribulations and triumphs of true love.
The definitive celebration of romance comics in postwar Britain, curated by Eisner award nominated author and historian David Roach
Rebellion is proud to present the finest romance comics in British history in one spectacular volume!
Curated by Eisner-nominated historian and artist David Roach, A Very British Affair charts the stratospheric rise of romance comics in postwar Britain with a selection of the greatest romance comics ever printed in the UK. Featuring an eclectic mix of artists from Spain, Italy, and the UK, this collection unearths the sensual art and emotional writing which delighted generations of comics readers.
Featuring over 50 comics stories – many of which have never been reprinted before – this lavish book is a stunning tribute to the often uncredited creators who crafted an industry of love.

Burns (Modesty Blaise), Purita Campos (Patty’s World), Jesus Blaco (Steel Claw), Pepe Gonzalez (Vampirella) Jesus Redondo (Kitty Pryde) and Blas Gallego (Black Beth).
