From the publisher:

In the late 1940s, Joe Simon and Jack Kirby set the comics world on fire with romance comics. Exciting, innovative, and beautifully drawn, these stories, aesthetically, remain a high point in both artists' careers. These two towering titans of the field produced stories for titles such as Young Romance, Young Love, and Western Love for over 12 years until Kirby moved on to a little-known outfit called Marvel Comics, where he would become the unrivaled King of Comics and co-creator (along with Stan Lee) of many of the most iconic characters in American history, such as the Fantastic Four, The Hulk, Iron Man, X-Men, Thor, etc. Young Romance: The Best of Simon & Kirby's 1940s-50s Romance Comics brings this wonderful work back to light by reprinting 21 stories in full-color, from 13 years of Simon and Kirby's romance comics: 200 pages of never-before reprinted material painstakingly restored over a five-year period by award-winning artist and animator Michel Gagné (Flight, Star Wars: Clone Wars).

This came from the library of Burny Mattinson (1935-2023), an animator, director, producer, and story artist for Walt Disney Animation Studios, from 1953 until his death in 2023. Mattinson directed Mickey's Christmas Carol and The Great Mouse Detective. He was named a Disney Legend in 2008 and was the longest-serving employee of The Walt Disney Company, with a career that spanned almost 70 years. His extensive library included numerous subjects and especially large collections of books on Disney, animation, and classic comic strips.
