Original, pre-Code romance stories from Canadian publisher Superior, often featuring a crime or mystery element and plentiful good-girl art. Trudy's sister disapproves of her romance with the handsome gardener, but is it because of the scandal - or because she wants him for herself? Marge's boyfriend Jim brings her into his life of crime, and she can't leave because Jim's partner Tony is a violent killer who slaps her around. Murder and romance unfold at a swanky ski resort. Carla is wooed by her manager at the candy factory, but that just causes spiteful gossip from the other factory girls. My Heart Was A Stranger; Outcast; Beware of Love; I Loved for a Reason - I Tried to Blackmail Cupid. 32 pages, Full Color. Cover price $0.10.
