Valentine's Day is here at last, and that means that it's time to celebrate the people we love. Admittedly, most of the people we love are fictional vigilantes, but still: Romance is in the air. And for those of us looking for the perfect way to express it, a few of our (real) favorite people have cooked up some amazing Valentines...

Today's entry: Young Romance #86's "For The Love of Ricky Wilson!" This Stan Lee/Jack Kirby "classic" finds our heroine swooning and lovestruck, which was pretty much the default state for girls in romance comics...

Last year, the staff of ComicsAlliance regaled you with our Cerebus Valentines, a series of tender love notes based on the work of Dave Sim. As the most romantic of holidays inspired by the brutal murder of a priest drew near once again, we naturally turned next to the oeuvre of the superhero comics writer who has looked deepest into the fragile, complicated chambers of the human heart and explore

As a trip to the store this week will prove, there are plenty of comic book themed Valentines out there on the shelves, just waiting to help you tell your elementary school classmates significant other how you feel through a lenticular hologram of Batman and Green Arrow...

In last week's installment of Ask Chris, I wrote about a few of the worst romances in comics, but with Valentine's Day coming next week, this is no time to focus on the negative. After all, love isn't just in the air, it's also on the page of our favorite comics...
