Alex Toth Tales SECRET HEARTS "20 Miles to Heartbreak" Part 3

We Have Already Seen...

...actually, this cover scene by penciler Dick Giordano and inker Vince Colletta doesn't occur in the story, since it's not Juan at the door!

(In fact, he only appears in a flashback in this chapter!)

So who is it???

Yep, we finally get back to Young Love for the soap opera-esque finale...

TOMORROW!

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

The third chapter (out of four) from DC's Secret Hearts #142 (1970) was written by Barbara Friedlander, penciled and lettered by Alex Toth and inked by Vince Colletta.

But, You Will Cry Your Eyes Out If You Miss It!

This initial chapter from DC's Young Love #78 (1970) was scripted by Barbara Friedlander, penciled and lettered by Alex Toth and inked by Vince Colletta.
Note: usually, if Toth does the lettering, he usually inks the story as well...but not in the case of this multi-parter.
The reason is unknown.

Romance on the Range ROMANCE TRAIL "Romantic Tenderfoot"

This is one of those "contemporary city slicker finds love at the dude ranch" tales...

...but with an unusual twist, which fans of Old West fiction will appreciate!

Illustrated by John Giunta and scripted by an unknown writer, this never-reprinted tale from DC's Romance Trail #2 (1949) plays up one of the "open secrets" of genre (mystery/sci fi-fantasy/Western) fiction...that a number of supposed male authors were actually women, whether using a name that could be either male or female (as Lee does) or a male pseudonym!
There's an article about the phenomenon in Old West fiction HERE!
Ironically, this comic book story was, more than likely, scripted by a male writer!
