REACH FOR HAPPINESS Episode 8

Welcome back to romance comics' longest-running soap opera...

You'll note a change as of this issue.

The page after the splash (which also doubles as the cover) now features a cast listing along with the usual "What Happened Before".

But, you, dear reader, will have to wait until next week's installment to hear what Ray will say to the man who will marry his One True Love!

Next Week...

Dinner and a movie...with Batman and Robin???
(Hey, it was 1967! Those guys were everywhere!)
We can guarantee that...

You'll Cry Your Eyes Out if You Miss It!

(Oh, you've heard that, eh?)

This chapter of "Reach for Happiness" from Secret Hearts #117 (1967) was written by Jack Miller, with a splash by Gene Colan and Tom Palmer with the remainder of the story something of a mish-mash with layouts and pencils by several different people including John Rosenberger, Jim Mooney and Gene Colan with primary inks by Tom Palmer and additional inks by a couple of others I can't identify right off.

And now a word from out sponsor...

REACH FOR HAPPINESS Episode 7

Welcome back to romance comics' longest-running soap opera...

BTW, though this Gene Colan-Tom Palmer illustrated splash is lovely, it has nothing to do with the story,

Nor is the red-headed girl Karen's sister, Peggy (who's black-haired).

It looks more like Rita, Karen's nemesis for Dr. Greg's affections!

Ah, well, on with the synopsis and today's installment...

 

At any rate, teen-age love's trials and travails are temporarily put aside as...
