Alex Toth Tales YOUNG ROMANCE "Next Door to Love" Part 1

Here's part one of a two-part tale with both parts cover-featured...

Cover art by Nick Cardy
...though neither of the covers was by penciler Alex Toth!
What does the future hold for Amy and Larry...if anything?
And, what of Carol and Jackie?
Will her injury keep them apart or bring them back together?
Will True Love prevail for either couple..or neither couple?
Yes, fans, it's a multi-part post!
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!
BTW, if the story from DC's Young Romance #163 (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!

Alex Toth Tales THRILLING ROMANCES "Chance for Happiness"

Can a war bride find happiness in America with her ex-army husband?
Or will annoying in-laws who look down their noses at immigrants screw the whole thing up?
While the scripter of this poignant tale of redemption and reconciliation from Standard's Thrilling Romances #23 (1953) is unknown, the pencil art is by comics legend Alex Toth (with inks by Mike Peppe) who went from being one of comics' best storytellers to designing/art directing most of the 1960s-70s non-funny animal output of tv animation studio Hanna-Barbera, including Space Ghost, Scooby-Doo, Super Friends, and Josie and the Pussycats!
So, this month, our topic is one particular artist, and we'll be featuring his romance comics art from the 1950s through 1970s!
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!
