YOUNG BRIDES "Wait for the Doctor!"

Are newlyweds truly ready to handle "for better or worse"?

The answer may lie behind this totally-unrelated stock photo cover (despite the misleading caption) in a never-reprinted story from Prize's Young Brides #2 (1952)!

Written by Natalie Krigstein, penciled by Mort Meskin, and inked by George Roussos.

Though written by a woman (and a married one, at that), it feels a bit patronizing about Jeanie and her feelings and expectations in the marriage!

But she's experiencing self-doubt about her love, even turning down Greg's marriage proposal!
Disillusioned, Karen prepares to leave town...

With a classic "only in soap-opera" miscommunication, the series ends on a joyous note!
