    Cover by Jack Kirby. Stories and art by Jack Kirby and Bob Powell. A romance comic from Harvey, as the teens of the 1950s explore the new world of dating. Marcy's new classmates can't let her forget that she's the child of migrant workers, in a story that reveals the social structures of the post-WWII era. Lorna dances to forget being abandoned by her father and swears never to fall for any man, until she meets Larry. Teen Mary weds much older Emil to escape her abusive family, but then she meets handsome Don, who is her own age. Plus a quiz about popularity (that's really about good behavior). This issue's reprinted stories include at least one new panel by comics legend Jack Kirby (p. 4, panel 3), probably to make the story compliant with the new Comics Code. Plus a cover by Kirby, the king of the romance comics at the time. Scandalous; The Typical Bachelor; Popularity Quiz; I Dared to Hope; Rendezvous with Youth; Nothing Like A College Man; Return to Heartbreak. 32 pages, Full Color. Cover price $0.10.
