Romeo

Romeo was a weekly girls comic published by DC Thomson from 1957 to 1974, when it was merged into Diana (Romeo had itself absorbed Cherie in 1963). It contained, as the name implies, mostly romanced based strips but interestingly included a number of reprints of American material including Marvel Comics' long running humour character Millie the Model alongside original British material. It also appeared to be aimed at a slightly older and more sophisticated audience than most of Thomson's other girls comics, and included a problem page where readers could receive often quite blunt and uncompromising advice on issues affecting them, some of which would not normally have been tackled by a juvenile title. Chieef sub-Editor John Wagner also wrote horoscopes for the title. Strips featured included Bridesmaids Mustn't Cry, That Guy Across the Way and I'm Going to Kiss Every Man I Meet.
