Love in the Time of Covid-19 CAREER GIRL ROMANCES "A Kiss is Merely a Biological Phenomenon"

This tale has only a peripheral connection to disease...
...but I felt an intense need to lighten the mood this week.
And the title is a real grabber!
Think of this as the lighthearted version of the rather serious story we recently presented HERE and HERE!
This never-reprinted tale from Charlton's Career Girl Romances #49 (1969) is a real mashup of artistic styles.
Dick Giordano seems to be the primary artist, with sections repenciled/reinked by Jim Aparo, Monte Baches, and Charles Nicholas!

CAREER GIRL ROMANCES "Sorrow Song"

What happens when, like most people...
...you can't make singing your career?
And worse, the bandmate you love is a cheating dog...
What does Johnny do for a living now, since he's not performing?
Why was he "away" (a euphemism for being incarcerated)?
Will he and Lauri remain in Michigan or go back to...well. whatever city they were performing in?
This never-reprinted Joe Gill-scripted/Jim Aparo illustrated tale under a Dick Giordano cover from Charlton's Career Girl Romances #40 (1967) never clears up those aspects...
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?)

Countdown to Halloween 2016: SPACE ADVENTURES "Imitation People" Part 2

Though it doesn't look like a love story...
...that's what this cover-featured tale from Charlton's Space Adventures V2N4 (1968) most definitely is!
We Have Already Seen...
Scientist Warren Simms' human-looking robots populate Earth II, a planetoid on the edge of the Solar System that serves as a first line of defense against alien incursions.
Simms' robots are programmed to mimic human behavior and emotions...but some of them (his aide Clarissa, particularly) seem to be transcending their programming!
While meeting with Earth's Grand Council to acquire additional funding and resources, Clarissa makes a startling revelation...
Don't you just love a happy ending?
Since the Simms robot is, for all intents and purposes, Simms, we could say that love is eternal and transcends death.
But, what of his soul?
Writer Joe Gill and artist Jim Aparo don't address that matter in this never-reprinted tale.
But that doesn't mean we can't speculate about it, eh?
