TIPPY TEEN "Wheel of Misfortune"

It's been a while since we ran some "teen humor", so let's look in on Tippy Teen...

...doing Archie-esque things with her Archie-esque cast in an Archie-esque tale from Tippy Teen #14 (1967).

Art by Doug Crane, who was the only artist to sign his art, probably because he was the only Tippy illustrator (besides artist/editor Samm Schwartz) who wasn't moonlighting from Archie Comics...at that point.

After Tower Comics went out of business, Doug worked on DC Comics' teen humor line including Swing with Scooter, Date with Debbie and Binky's Buddies.

From 1989-2005, he was a mainstay of Archie Comics' art staff, working on almost every title they published, even Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!

The writer is unknown.

SINISTER HOUSE OF SECRET LOVE "Will I Ever See You Again?"

Before we present a longer (20 pages+) Gothic Romance prose tale...

...we wanted to gauge reaction to this shorter piece from Sinister House of Secret Love #3 (1972)!

Are you comfortable with text this size?
Is it readable?
Should it be larger?
Let us know, because we have a much longer story that has to be prepped for Halloween, and we want to be sure we do it right!
Illustrations by Jack Sparling.
The writer is unknown.

We hope you've enjoyed a solid week of romance comics, but we'll be returning to our weekly format for the foreseeable future.
We'd like to go daily, but we can't without more hits on this blog.
So tell your friends, your family, heck, even your frienemies!
All are welcome at True Love Comics Tales™!

SINISTER HOUSE OF SECRET LOVE "Kiss of the Serpent" Part 3

When Last We Left Our Heroine...

Moving to India to take a teaching job at a private school seemed like a bad idea to Michelle Harlinson.

Her feelings were confirmed when, shortly after the semester began, the school closed due to bankruptcy.

Luckily, Michelle was offered employment by the handsome and wealthy Rabin Singh to act as governess to his niece and nephew, now in his care due to the deaths of the childrens' father (Rabin's brother) and mother.
A simple task, complicated by someone who attempts to murder her and the children while making it look like an accident.
Michelle suspects Rabin's menacing aide, Bakar.
But, if it is the sinister servant, whose orders is Bakar following?

Tomorrow:

While Rabin tries to save his mother, who will save Michelle and the children in...

The Desert?
