How many ways can a love story go?  "He's Not For Her" is an eight page comic story from 1975. It is a love story about two sisters and the man that has come between them It all ends well for everyone. Love is always victorious.   David Macpherson has taken this little story and spun 32 variations on the theme and plot of the story. Using Bach's Goldberg Variations as a guide, we can see so many permutations of the romance comic story.  It is an odd, affectionate look at the genre tropes of romance comics.  The Comic Book Hinterlands is the place where the oddness of comics is celebrated.
