The author apologizes that footnote 5 was incomplete. The full footnote should be as below:
5 Simon and Kirby quoted in Michael Barson, Agonizing Love: The Golden Era of Romance Comics (New York, 2011), 8-14. See also Jeremy Dauber, American Comics: A History (New York, 2022), 92-9; Wright, Comic Book Nation, 127-33; and Peyton Brunet and Blair Davis, Comic Book Women: Characters, Creators, and Culture in the Golden Age (Austin, 2022), 225-49. The only book-length treatment of romance comics is Michelle Nolan, Love on the Racks: A History of American Romance Comics (Jefferson, NC, 2008), though the work (and forthcoming dissertation) of Sydney Phillips Heifler also represents a significant contribution to our understanding of the genre. See Sydney Phillips Heifler, “Romance Comics, Dangerous Girls, and the Importance of Fathers,” Journal of Graphic Novels and Comics 11, no. 4 (2020): 376-93.
