About the series
In the late 1940s, Superior Comics launched this short-lived, three-issue series centered on the professional and personal life of a young nurse. Nellie the Nurse is a modest but earnest example of the post-war romance and career-girl genre, reflecting the era's fascination with women entering the workforce. While the series is primarily remembered for its cover art by the prolific Bill Ward, it remains a minor but charming footnote in the history of pre-Code romance comics.
