Love in the Time of Covid-19 DIARY LOVES "I Was For Sale"

Sometimes disease affecting a loved one causes us to do the wrong thing...
...but for the right reason, as this never-reprinted story from Quality's Diary Loves #4 (1950) proves!
Talk about your potential "fate worse than death"!
Luckily, nobility and selfless sacrifice win out in the end!
Artist Reed Crandall was no slouch when it came to rendering beautiful women as his work on the heroic Blackhawk (who was constantly being pusued by glamorous female spies and other villainesses) book proved on a monthly basis!
Reed didn't often do  romance, but when he did, it was a beautifully-illustrated treat! 
However, the writer of this somewhat tawdry tale is unknown!
Note: the disease Laurie's brother Jimmy suffers from is called "glanders"...which only horses suffer from!
Next Week...
Another Tale of Debilitating Conditions and Desire!
You'll Cry Your Eyes Out If You Miss It!
And now a word from our sponsor...
