SUGAR BOWL COMICS "Ginny in 'I Hate Men!' "

Why can't hating men be fun?

This never-reprinted entry in the teen humor genre from Eastern Color's Sugar Bowl Comics #2 (1948) answers the question!

Ginny Lambert was the comic's lead character, and disappeared when the book was cancelled after only five issues!
None of the title's stories have ever been reprinted, and we intend to correct that oversight in the future.
Illustrated by Gerald "Jerry" Fasano, who worked in the business from 1949 to 1959, then disappeared.

Whether he passed away or simply switched to another profession is unknown, as is the scripter of this tale.

Anything BUT Archie CLUB 16 COMICS "Heavens to Betsy! Wheel of Betsy's Zodiac"

Here's a never-reprinted story from Eastern Color's Club 16 Comics #1 (1948)...

...starring the character who was cover-featured on three of the four issues of the comic!

Presumably, the "Indian Sign" he's referring to is something like this...

...since Native American iconography was popular in advertising/branding until the 1970s!

Artist Jimmy Thompson was both prolific and versatile, working on everything including Westerns, crime, war, romance, humor, and superheroes for almost every publisher including Eastern Color, McKay, DC, Timely, Fawcett, Avon, and Street & Smith.

PERSONAL LOVE "A Love of My Own"

For Veteran's Day, here's a military-themed comic tale of True Love...

...that spans not only military ranks, but generations as well!

This touching (if unlikely) tale from Personal Love #24 (1953) was illustrated by an up-and-coming Frank Frazetta, who would go on to become one of the foremost sf/fantasy artists of all time, doing the definitive book covers of Tarzan, Conan the Barbarian, John Carter of Mars, and other classic characters as well as posters for movies and tv series including the original BattleStar Galactica.

PERSONAL LOVE "Too Late for Love"

There's a long-standing stereotype about scheming secretaries who steal married men...

...demonstrated in this superbly-rendered story from Personal Love #25 (1954)!

Though the writer is unknown, the art is by fantasy art master Frank Frazetta, who did another story we've presented HERE.
A couple of bits of trivia...
1) "Too Late for Love" is one of the most popular titles for romance comic tales!
There are at least a dozen different stories using it (or some variation like "Never Too Late for Love")!

2) Lila is based on 1950s pin-up queen Bettie Page...
