Advice d'Amour MARY WORTH "Doctor Ward's Secret" Part 1

Though Mary Worth has been published in newspapers continuously from 1938 to the present...

...unlike long-lived comic strip contemporaries, like Dick Tracy and Peanuts, Mary's stories have been reprinted almost haphazardly in paperback and comic book formats by several different publishers!

This tale from 1944, by Ken Ernst & Allen Saunders and combining daily and Sunday strips, is the longest single storyline ever reprinted, and even this reprint hasn't been seen in over a 3/4s of a century!
Let's join the storyline featuring a woman doctor (a rarity in the 1940s), a mysterious wealthy widow, experimental medical procedures, and incredibly-nosy neighbors...

What Secrets Will be Revealed...Next Week?

You'll Cry Your Eyes Out If You Miss It!

This story appeared in Magazine Enterprises' one-shot Romantic Picture Novelettes (1946).
Historical note: This was Magazine Enterprises' (best-known for Frank Frazetta's Thun'da, and White Indian as well as the original Ghost Rider) first romance comic.
Their other love comics were Dream Book of Love and Dream Book of Romance.

Super-Love SUPERMAN'S GIRL FRIEND LOIS LANE "Super-Bride's Secret!"

When Last We Left an Increasingly-Desperate Lois Lane...

...she had lost a catfight to Diana Prince, the then-powerless Wonder Woman...who has, apparently, regained her powers...and then some!
And Superman's plans to wed Wonder Woman are going "full speed ahead"!

Well, at least it wasn't a tacky fake romance, like Batman pulled with the aid of Batgirl and Wonder Woman as we showed HERE, HERE, and HERE!

Several points...

a) Why didn't Superman realize the woman he was kissing (several times) was wearing a mask?
He does have super-senses, right?

b) How was Ar-Ual going to put Wonder Woman into the Phantom Zone?

The criminal escaped from the Zone through a rift (which had re-sealed) and the only Phantom Zone projector on Earth is in Superman's Fortress of Solitude!
The Superman robots and possibly even the tiny Kandorians in their bottle city might notice an intruder!
and, c) I don't believe we've ever seen a version of Red Kryptonite that temporarily removes a Kryptonian's super-powers!

Super-Love SECRET WARS: SECRET LOVE "Misty and Danny Forever"

The Course of True Love Rarely Runs Smooth...

...especially when you're a "super-couple", as Danny (Iron Fist) Rand and Misty (Daughter of the Dragon) Knight-Rand, discover!
(Note: this is an Alternate Universe tale...)

Written by Jeremey Whitley, and illustrated by Gurihiru and Chifuyu Sasaki, this too-cute-for-words (and, sadly, never-reprinted) tale was from Marvel's Secret Wars: Secret Love one-shot, one of the few good parts of the whole terrible Secret Wars "Big Event" of 2015.

Super-Love WONDER WOMAN (and SUPERGIRL) "Fight to the Death!"

When Last We Left Our Heroines...

Cover art by Carmine Infantino and Irv Novick

The cover pretty much says it all.

Prepare for a classic Silver Age catfight!

Grok has never appeared again, not even in the many reboots that have occurred since Crisis on Infinite Earths...
Written by Bill Finger, penciled by Win Mortimer, and inked by Jack Abel, this tale has never been reprinted in color since it's first appearance in DC's Wonder Woman #177 (1969).
You may wonder about the tag line..."Turn the page for the real END!"
This is the page...

Art by Mike Sekowsky and Dick Giordano

...and the series was about to do the wildest reboot any comic had ever done up to that point!
My blog-buddy, Rip Jagger, can fill you in on that fascinating story, starting HERE!

Super-Love WONDER WOMAN (and SUPERGIRL) "Captive Queens"

 We Have Already Seen...

Interplanetary conqueror Klamos wants a super-powered bride!

His troops have been sent to every corner of the universe to round up worthy candidates!
Having captured a de-powered Supergirl by temporarily making Earth's sun red instead of yellow, they now make their move on Wonder Woman...

"...such loyal friends?"

Except for a previous Brave & Bold tale (where they were hardly the best of friends), the two of them never met!

Either way, the mayhem concludes tomorrow!

Don't miss it!
You'll Cry Your Eyes Out if You Do!

This Bill Finger-scripted, Win Mortimer-penciled, and Jack Abel-inked tale, was totally-different from any of the previously-published Wonder Woman stories!
Not surprising, since none of these creatives had worked on her tales before!
Ironically, this story apparently served as a try-out for Mortimer and Abel, who became regular artists (along with already-established illustrator Kurt Schaffenberger) on Supergirl's two tales-per-issue run in Adventure Comics in 1969!
