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.

Alex Toth Tales YOUNG LOVE "20 Miles to Heartbreak" Part 1

We're Winding Up Alex Toth Tales with a Four-Part Story...

Cover by Dick Giordano
...which bounced between two comic titles, while being the cover feature for all four installments!
You Won't Have to Wait a Month for the Next Chapter in...
...Since You'll Be Able to Read it on Thursday!
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.

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)
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!
