Advice d'Amour DR ANTHONY KING: HOLLYWOOD LOVE DOCTOR "Too Fat for Love!"

Well, when he received his own comic, it inspired at least one publisher to put out an imitator!
Note that, though the cover reads "Hollywood Love Doctor", the feature itself is called "Hollywood Psychiatrist"!
(Perhaps the publisher thought putting "psychiatrist" on the cover would scare away readers!)
This never-reprinted tale of body-shaming from Toby's Dr Anthony King: Hollywood Love Doctor #1 (1952) was illustrated by Myron Fass.
The writer's name is lost to the mists of time.
As you might have guessed, this month's theme is "comics about busybodies who offer advice to those in romantic distress"...whether they are qualified to do so or not!
The participants range from medical personnel to quacks to newspaper columnists to the little old lady who lives next door!
Though almost every romance comic had such a feature, we're dealing specifically with those characters who actually had their own comics (and there were more of them than you think)!

COMPLETE ROMANCE "Women to Love" Part 2

Don't freak out!
You didn't miss Part 1!
It's HERE, at our brother blog, Crime & Punishment™!
This is Part 2 of a multi-blog post, telling a cross-genre story over several blogs, encompassing both crime and romance in equal measure with an adult-oriented plotline and lots of violence!
To recap...
Scarlett was an easily-impressed teen when she fell for Rocco Conselmo, a charismatic gangster working his way up the ranks of the Chicago's Prohibition-era underworld.
As her lover became involved in progressively-more dangerous situations, the once-star-struck girl came to realize the life-style she thought was glamorous and exciting was, in fact, sordid and lethal.
And the man she loved was becoming hard and cruel...
This sleazy story continues on Thursday in Seduction of the Innocent™!
The original novel is by Sinclair Drago (aka Harry Sinclair Drago, who also wrote Westerns under the pseudonym "Bliss Lomax".)
Illustrated by Myron Fass.
The comic's scripter/adapter is unknown.
This tale has been reprinted several times in the '40s and '50s, but not since then...until now!
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?)
