Valentine was a British girls romance comic published weekly by Amalgamated Press, Fleetway Publications and IPC Magazines between 19 January 1957 and 9 November 1974.

[1] Like the company's other weekly romance comics it was black and white with a third colour on the cover - blue, in Valentine's case.

[2][3] The pair struck on the hook of basing the stories around contemporary hits by the likes of Malcolm Vaughan, Conway Twitty, Jerry Lee Lewis and Perry Como.

Illustrators included Shirley Bellwood and Gerry Haylock, as well as a host of European artists like Carlos Prunez Alvarez and Roberto Casarrubio.

[5] The comic stayed fresh as the sixties went on by following the pop charts closely with strips inspired by songs recorded by The McGuire Sisters, Johnnie Ray, Adam Faith, Connie Francis, The Shadows, Eden Kane, Billy Fury, Pat Boone, Brenda Lee, Gerry and the Pacemakers, Cilla Black, The Overlanders, Four Tops, The Beatles, The Easybeats, The Move and many more.
