We Have Already Seen...

Cover Art by Don Heck and Frank Giacoia
Scheming, manipulative Crystal Larson has been bed-hopping (in a PG-13 manner) to move herself up the social and financial ladder...

This never-reprinted tale from Skywald's Tender Love Stories #2 (1971) shows that what's good for the goose is equally-good for the gander!

Business Before Love? TENDER LOVE STORIES "I Wanted the World" Part 1

When most women describe themselves as "hard-working"...

...I don't think this is quite what they mean!

But then, Crystal Larson isn't planning to go though the whole "nose to the grindstone" routine...

Looks like Crystal's planning to move up in the corporate structure...as we shall see...

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

Written by Gardner Fox and illustrated by Jack Katz (with some redrawing by Skywald's art director Ross Andru along with inking by Mike Esposito and Frank Giacoia), this never-reprinted tale from Skywald's Tender Love Stories #2 (1971) shows a more 1940s-50s mindset than a tale written at the dawn of the Womens' Lib movement should!

BTW, our sincere thanks to the amazing Kracalactaka for the scans from this incredibly-hard to find comic!

Business Before Love? YOUNG MARRIAGE "Everything But Love"

It is Said "All's Fair in Love and War"!

It is also said "Business is War"!

So, a logical extrapolation of the two is "All is Fair in Business and Love"!

To answer the obvious question, there was never a sequel to this never-reprinted story of Cupid and cupidity from Fawcett's Young Marriage #1 (1950), created by artist Bob Powell and an unknown scripter...who could have been Powell himself or editor Roy Ald!

Pre-Comics Code tales tended to be more "adult" in their subject matter than the later books which had less-sophisticated stories!
And a surprising number have rather depressing endings...
