But, You Will Cry Your Eyes Out If You Miss It!

Alex Toth Tales YOUNG LOVE "20 Miles to Heartbreak" Part 1

We're Winding Up Alex Toth Tales with a Four-Part Story...

Cover by Dick Giordano
...which bounced between two comic titles, while being the cover feature for all four installments!
You Won't Have to Wait a Month for the Next Chapter in...
...Since You'll Be Able to Read it on Thursday!
But, You Will Cry Your Eyes Out If You Miss It!
This initial chapter from DC's Young Love #78 (1970) was scripted by Barbara Friedlander, penciled and lettered by Alex Toth and inked by Vince Colletta.
Note: usually, if Toth does the lettering, he usually inks the story as well...but not in the case of this multi-parter.
The reason is unknown.

Alex Toth Tales POPULAR ROMANCE "Blinded by Love"

This tale about a love triangle from childhood to adulthood...
...and from lighthearted fun to tragedy would make for a heck of a Hallmark Channel movie!
This poignant Alex Toth-penciled and Mike Peppe-inked story from Standard's Popular Romances #22 (1953) is probably the single-most reprinted tale from any of the company's romance books.
Next Week:
We don't know...yet...what Alex Toth Tale we're going to present!
But we can tell you this...
You'll Cry Your Eyes Out if You Miss It!

...which includes the tale presented here and other romance (as well as sci-fi, war, and horror stories) by Alex Toth for Standard Comics!

Alex Toth Tales YOUNG ROMANCE "Searing Conclusion to Next Door to Love"

We Have Already Seen...

Coverart by Werner Roth (pencils), Vince Colletta (inks)
...actually, I'm going to let the writer do the synopsis!

BTW, if the story from DC's Young Romance #164 (1970) looks somewhat familiar to you, that's because we ran the re-edited, re-worked, re-titled reprint in DC's Young Love #114 (1975)
Besides the usual "updating" modifications to hairstyles and fashions, two pages were cut from the story!
Next Week:
We Don't Know Which Alex Toth Tale We'll Present...Yet!
But, We Guarantee That...
You'll Cry Your Eyes Out If You Miss It!

Fear Not! 
You don't have to wait until next week!
The heart-tugging conclusion will be posted...
Tomorrow!
You'll cry your eyes out if you miss it!

Besides the usual "updating" modifications to hairstyles and fashions, two pages were cut from the story!
