    Cover by Al Avison. Stories and art by Al Eadeh, Bob Powell, Edgar Allan Poe, Tom Gill and Lee Elias. Harvey's entry in the romance-comic genre includes love poetry, advice to readers, and occasional pre-Code notoriety. Nurse Jane finds herself in the unlikely position of having to choose between patient Jerry and surgeon Tom, right when Tom is about to operate on Jerry. Zaftig Roz despairs of being asked to dances or parties because of her plus-size looks, in a story unusual for a 1940s romance comic. Superstitious gal Jinx allows a fortune-teller's advice to ruin her romance with handsome Red. Plus "true" reader tales of love, love poetry from classic authors, and vintage love advice. Could I Let Jealousy Wreck an Innocent Man's Life?; Gossip Nearly Ruined My Love; Was I Too Fat to Be Loved?; First Kiss; Cupid's Corner; Superstition Made Me Afraid to Love. 46 pages, full color. Cover price $0.10.
