MENACE "Fake"

Remember the old adage "Don't judge a book by it's cover"?
 Here's the codicil; "It goes both ways"!
Illustrated by Al Eadeh, this tale from Atlas' Menace #10 (1954) follows the classic trope of golddigger tripped up, not by her own greed, but by the fact her husband (who still loves her) is not even human!
Remember, the target audience for horror (as opposed to romance) comics was 8-14 year old boys, to whom girls were "yukky".
And for whom Lois Lane , the nosy reporter who was always trying to either expose Superman's secret identity or trick the Man of Steel into marrying her, was the typical woman!

(Oh, you've heard that, eh?)
And now a word from out sponsor...

BLACK MAGIC "Romantic Souls"

This is a ghostly love story, but not a "breathless romance" tale...
Art by Jack Kirby
...instead, it's a story of enduring love from the creators of the romance comic genre!
This gentle, never-reprinted tale from Prize's Black Magic #25 (1953) was laid out by Jack Kirby and penciled/inked by Al Eadeh.
The Simon & Kirby team edited/art directed the book, and wrote most of the stories, so one or both of them probably scripted this one.
