Yep, we're taking a humorous look at romance during the month of Valentine's Day!
And we're starting it off with another of Jeannie Martinet's rewrites of an otherwise never-reprinted DC Silver Age tale!
Now that you've seen how this story was reconceived for the cynical 2000s in Watson-Guptill's Truer Than True Romance (2001), let's see what the unknown original writer of this Jack Sparling-penciled and Vince Colletta-inked tale from DC's Young Romance #161 (1969) had in mind...
Is that adorable, or what???
Note: I really didn't believe there were any Vietnam War romance comic stories until I found this one!
Next Week:

And We Guarantee That...
You'll Cry Your Eyes Out if You Miss It!

Very impressive art team, both penciler and inker are known for versatility, Sparling was a gritty penciler but handled romance nicely. Colletta became known for superheroes like Thor but his foundation was actually in the love story genre.
