Entirely by accident I seem to have stumbled across an interesting (to me, anyway) bit of Marvel Comics lore. Between 1969 and 1975 Marvel published 39 issues of My Love and during that run they published the story “His Hair Is Long and I Love Him!” by Stan Lee and Gene Colan three times: in #5, #21 and #39. Of course by the time the final issue came out in 1976 the story had lost much of it’s relevance (i.e. long-hair for men had gone from outrageous to more or less normative).

This issue also included “Too Young to Wear Black” by Joy Hartle and Win Mortimer, which is nice and all…

…but it’s no “My Song and My Sorrow!” by Stan Lee, John Buscema and Dick Ayers.
