Alex Toth Tales YOUNG ROMANCE "Searing Conclusion to Next Door to Love"

We Have Already Seen...

Coverart by Werner Roth (pencils), Vince Colletta (inks)

...actually, I'm going to let the writer do the synopsis!

BTW, if the story from DC's Young Romance #164 (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)

HERE!

Besides the usual "updating" modifications to hairstyles and fashions, two pages were cut from the story!

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!

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!

YOUNG LOVE "When Love Has Gone"

It's hard to believe this tale by a master of graphic storytelling has never been re-printed...

...since its' only appearance in DC's Young Love #73 (1969)!

When this story was published, illustrator/letterer/colorist Alex Toth was only doing a few comics tales a year due to his incredibly-heavy workload as character designer and storyboard artist at animation giant Hanna-Barbera on everything from Space Ghost to Scooby Doo!

It's a textbook example of a comic story that could be used as a shot-for-shot storyboard for a TV show or a sequence in a feature film!

SINISTER HOUSE OF SECRET LOVE "Bride of the Falcon" Conclusion

When Last We Left Our Heroine...

...Kathy Harwood thought she found the man of her dreams.

He turned out to be a nightmarish control freak with an ominous secret she's about to discover...

Written by Frank Robbins and illustrated by Alex Toth and Frank Giacoia, this book-length tale from DC's Sinister House of Secret Love #3 (1972) is considered by many to be one of the high points of the title's all-too brief run.

Be here next Wednesday for our last Halloween-season entry!

Next week:

We haven't decided yet what it'll be, but we can guarantee that...

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

(Oh, you've heard that, eh?)
