In a mind-blowing, laugh-filled, freewheeling tour of New York, Gross' character Pop and his sidekick son blast through the East Side, The West Side, China Tow,n and Harlem. The demented-duo roar through Yankee Stadium, The New York Public Library, and Coney Island! A "lost" graphic novel from one of the FIRST and MOST BRILLIANT graphic novelists: Milt Gross!

Weird Love collects the first three issues of the so-bad-it's-good comic book that is the buzz of geekdom! Plus, a raging bonus showcase of the most bizarro and sexy romance comic book covers! Revealing introduction by the Craig Yoe and Clizia Gussoni who 13th Dimension calls, "The Masters and Johnson of comics!" These vintage stories will blow your mind: "I Fell for a Commie!", "Love of a Lunatic!", "Yes, I was an Escort Girl!", "Love, Honor and Swing, Baby!", Gangster's Girl", "Too Fat to Frug!"… and MORE! "Some of the, yes, weirdest comics ever produced were the "true love" and "young romance" comics of the 1950s and '60s.
