Tales Twice Told GIRLS' LOVE STORIES "This is Our Moment"

Yesterday, We Presented a Story from the '60s...

...that featured modified clothing and hairstyles as usual when it was reprinted a half-decade later!

But, it also had a radical modification not present in most of those reprints...

Pages 3 thru 6 of the original story are dropped, and we now continue with what was originally page 7...

Why did Editor Dorothy Woolfolk drop four pages from this story when it was "updated" for DC's Girls' Love Stories #162 (1971)

It wasn't for space reasons, as there were lots of other reprintable stories that would've fitted into the allocated pages without extensive re-editing!
We'll never know the answer...

We Don't Yet Know What We'll Present Next Week!
But We Can Guarantee...
You'll Cry Your Eyes Out If You Miss It!

Beach Read KISS OF DEATH "Chapter Four: Mystery of the Locket"

We Have Already Seen...

Anne Mason lying in a coffin after being attacked by strange beings...

...and now, the astounding conclusion to this tale from DC's Dark Mansion of Forbidden Love #3 by Jack Oleck and Don Heck!

Ah, a happy ending...

But not for Gothic Romances in comic book form!

This title, DC Comics' Dark Mansions of Forbidden Love, only lasted four issues before becoming Forbidden Tales of the Dark Mansion, a standard horror comic that ran ten more issues.

Its sister title, Sinister House of Secret Love suffered a similar fate, turning into Secrets of Sinister House, also after four issues.

Marvel Comics' attempt at a similar title was not a comic, but a b/w magazine with prose stories and spot illustrations called Gothic Tales of Love.

It died after three issues.

Charlton Comics' Haunted Love was the second-longest running series with ten titanic issues of weird love. 
We've presented a couple of stories from it HERE and HERE.

But the longest-lasting gothic romance comic book was based on a daytime tv soap opera...Gold Key's Dark Shadows, which ran thirty-five issues and lasted four years longer than the TV show!
Then, in 1991, Innovation Comics did three mini-series (one cancelled after only a single issue) based on the short-lived primetime revival of the show, adding nine issues to the count.
Finally, in 2011, Dynamite Entertainment resurrected (as it were) the original TV show with a twenty-three issue run as well as a five-issue crossover mini-series with Vampirella!
