DARING LOVE "Paper Romance"

This week we're presenting a tale from Daring Love (1953), a one-shot comic featuring a one-time combination of two of the most famous artists in comic book history!
The artists are:
1) Matt Baker, whom we've shown here several times, doing layouts.
2) And, in his very first published story, Steve Ditko, who would later co-create Spider-Man and Dr. Strange, on finished pencils and inks.

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?)

And now a word from out sponsor...

DARING LOVE "Dear John"

What's the worst sort of mail for a guy in the military to get from your sweetheart?
But, what are the consequences when the letter turns out to be...oh, just read the story...
Wasn't it lucky that the blindness (which is only temporary) kept him from reading the "Dear John" letter in this amazingly politically-incorrect tale?
The writer and artist for this lead story in Gilmor's Daring Love #1 (1953) are both unknown.
The book is the last of three attempts by different publishers to use the "Daring Love" title on a comic book.
None lasted more than three issues and, in fact, this was the only issue from this publisher.
