Romantic tales from the Golden Age! See what copies that are floating around are selling for by using our online price guide!
Going Steady was the continuation of the series Teen-Age Temptation, rebranded after issue #10. The new series featured more romantic stories and easy reading, in contrast to all of the superhero and terror comics being released at the time.
It was a good idea to switch it up as the previous series was failing, but eventually readers also became tired of this series and Going Steady was pulled in October 1955, after releasing only five issues.
