    Mod Love (1967) features a psychadelic, wrap-around romance cover and equally garish interior art. Features three comic book stories, "Shadows from the Past," "As Long as I Win," and "She's the Hippest Girl in the World," all written by Michael Lutin with uncredited art. Also includes a three page text story, "The Palladium," a two page ad for a hippie clothing shop--Tiger Morse's Teenie Weenie at 53rd and Broadway, NY, NY--specializing in psychadelic (now quaint) clothing and side-splitting dialogue as per, "At Tiger Morse's you know who survives...the fittest! Groovy girl animal who's just about to evolve!" and " To keep silent while you're swinging through the forest, or if you'd rather dance it up than talk it out--the Morse yes or no--dress in white vinyl-- is the grooviest way to accentuate the positive!" (we remember when women did wear vinyl dresses--THAT's what's scary!), plus "Make-Up for Your Life" with tips such as "Nature grooves cellular make-up," and plenty of other side-splitting comments from the flower child era. Last but not least, the two page "The Sun" provides an introduction to the signs and meaning of the zodiac, all with a positive flower child flavor. Mod Love is mentioned by artist Trina Robbins in her book "From Girls to Grrrlz: A History of Women's Comics from Teens to Zines." Published by Western Publishing. Full color, 8.5-in. x 11-in., 36 pages, cardstock cover and slick paper interior. #6201 on cover. Published by Western Publishing. Cover price $0.50.
