The cover caught my eye as cubes and I had just married. I wondered what the comic was like. So I picked up a couple of copies. Just Married can best be described as a soap opera in an offline, easily transportable medium.
There's drama. There's intrique. There's tears. There's kissing.
And... at the end of each story arc, there's always a happy ending. No matter what the drama, girl and boy live happily ever after. Modern G-rated fairytales!
In today's story - A Ruined Life - a young widow believes her life ruined, her young husband, a corporal, died at war, leaving her and her son alone. She moves to the big city and starts to fall for a neighbor.
But she feels she can never truly love another as she did her husband. For her son she knows it's best to have a father in his life. So she decides to "pretend" to be in love.
But then disaster! A fire in their apartment building. She thinks she is going to lose him!
Disaster averted. She knows she truly loves him. The End.
If you want to read more stories, visit the Digital Comic Museum. They have a few issues of Just Married from 1958 available to view. Just Married was first published in 1958 and was published bi-monthly until December 1976 with an average run of over 200,000 issues. Comicvine.com has an archive of each cover.
Have a great weekend!
Ciao Bella!
