Cover by Jack Kirby. Stories and art by Bob Powell, Bill Draut, and Warren Kremer. Tales of young love and marriage from publisher Harvey. Many of these stories were re-worked from pre-Code romance comics, some rather clumsily, with art altered, and titles and dialogue changed, or sometimes deleted entirely. Kit cares for her husband Ted after he's crippled in an accident, but her pushy boss Bob sees her as fair game. Eileen is perplexed by the way her sister Susan pushes her husband around, and wonders if she should change up her own marriage game. Manipulative Lucy agrees to marry free spirit Rance and travel around the country with him in his trailer, but she has no intention of actually doing it. Cover by comics legend Jack Kirby. No More Tomorrows; Bride of the Month; Double Wedding!; Heart and Soul; Trailer Bride!; Heros Wife; Hidden Heartbreak! 36 pages, full color. Cover price $0.10.
