YOUNG ROMANCE "Love Me, Love Me Not!"

What do you do when the one you love falls for someone else?
Art by Bill Draut
But, at the same time, something happens to you, as shown in the cover story from Young Romance #168 (1970)...
This titillating tale of heartbreak, horniness, and hypocrisy, was written by Jack Miller, and illustrated by Don Heck, who did a lot of romance work from the 1950s to the late 1970s, penciling or inking in conjunction with others, or doing his own complete art (like this tale)!

GIRLS' ROMANCES "Made for Each Other"

Sometimes a cover just doesn't go with the story it's supposed to promote...
Art by Don Heck and Vince Colletta
...like this cover which (though nicely-done) doesn't match up with the story!
Heck, they got the girl's hair color wrong and the guy doesn't wear glasses!
Oh, well...on with the story...
Is it just me or is Candy a little passive-aggressive?
Illustrated by the talented Art Saaf, this story from DC's Girl's Romances #159 (1971) makes Candy, sadly, seem like a real doormat.
I'd love to blame the writer, but we don't know who he/she is!
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?)
