Love in the Time of Covid-19 CONFESSIONS OF THE LOVELORN "Man in My Past!"

Warning: the story under this Ken Bald-illustrated cover is about an incurable disease...
...but it's not the incurable disease you'll think it is after the first few pages!
So he's not cured, but in remission, though the doctor says the operation was a "complete success"!
Written by editor Richard E Hughes and illustrated by Howard Alexander, this never-reprinted tale from ACG's Confessions of the LoveLorn #57 (1955) tries to make Alan honorable, even noble!
But instead of being honest with his wife, he all but abandoned her and then returned years later expecting her to take him back!

Love in the Time of Covid-19 TRUE LOVE PROBLEMS AND ADVICE ILLUSTRATED "Was It Love or Pity?"

You've read this basic plot before...but there's several twists you haven't seen...
Oddly, our tale, though listed second in the table of contents, appeared in the back of the book!
Dr Mathews doesn't think much of his own daughter...
This never-reprinted tale from Harvey's True Love Problems and Advice Illustrated #2 (1949) was illustrated by comics workhorse Bob Powell.
The scripter is unknown, but could have been Powell himself.

Love in the Time of Covid-19 CAREER GIRL ROMANCES "A Kiss is Merely a Biological Phenomenon"

This tale has only a peripheral connection to disease...
...but I felt an intense need to lighten the mood this week.
And the title is a real grabber!
Think of this as the lighthearted version of the rather serious story we recently presented HERE and HERE!
This never-reprinted tale from Charlton's Career Girl Romances #49 (1969) is a real mashup of artistic styles.
Dick Giordano seems to be the primary artist, with sections repenciled/reinked by Jim Aparo, Monte Baches, and Charles Nicholas!
