Cover by John Buscema. Stories and art by John Buscema, Mort Leav, Syd Shores and Bill Woolfolk. Offbeat romance comic, from pioneering female publisher Rae Herman of Orbit-Wanted, often featured early work by future comics legends. Edith goes to work running Gerald's modeling agency and falls for him, but then learns the agency is a front for a prostitution ring, an unusual twist for a 1950s romance comic. This is one of two early stories (plus a cover) in this issue by future Marvel and Conan legend John Buscema. Buscema also drew "Love Slave!," in which Carla falls for boxing champ Ray while on vacation, forcing boyfriend David to step up. Julie seeks advice from Love Journal when her engagement to Arthur causes religious conflict for their Catholic and Lutheran families. Plus the article "How to Find a Man," sure to be amusing to modern eyes. Too Many Sweethearts!; Love Slave!; How to Find a Man; SOS Love in Distress; Trapped! 36 pages, Full Color. Cover price $0.10.
