A period piece set in the 1970s about teen pregnancy, originally released as comic books in 2003 but not collected at the time. Marvel was apparently trying to repopularize romance comics, but the series received mixed reviews, including one from Entertainment Weekly calling it "banal" and "hokey." But teen pregnancy is still not often addressed in graphic novels, so perhaps Trouble deserves a second life.
