Newsroom Nookie DARING CONFESSIONS "Scandal Sheet"

Imagine, a tabloid that purchases stories involving famous/important people...

...then keeps them from being published and embarrassing the famous/important people!

Such "catch and kill" schemes couldn't actually happen, right?

This never-reprinted story from Youthful's Daring Confessions #4 (1951) can't seem to decide what its' plotting priorities are!

Is it a love story...or a tale of hard-hitting journalists working together...or both?

You decide!

DARING CONFESSIONS "My Sister and I"

Two women fighting over a man isn't that unusual...

...but two siblings in conflict can make for serious problems as this story from the aptly-named Daring Confessions #8 (1953) from Youthful Magazines shows...

The art is by Vince Colletta, an inker noted for his amazing speed whose feathery style was one of the hallmarks of romance comics of the 1950s and 60s.

He did very few pencil jobs, and this particular one shows influences, if not outright swipes, from a number of other artists including Alex Toth, Wally Wood, Ross Andru, even Steve Ditko!
