Alex Toth Tales YOUNG ROMANCE "Searing Conclusion to Next Door to Love"

We Have Already Seen...

Coverart by Werner Roth (pencils), Vince Colletta (inks)

...actually, I'm going to let the writer do the synopsis!

BTW, if the story from DC's Young Romance #164 (1970) looks somewhat familiar to you, that's because we ran the re-edited, re-worked, re-titled reprint in DC's Young Love #114 (1975)

HERE!

Besides the usual "updating" modifications to hairstyles and fashions, two pages were cut from the story!

Next Week:

We Don't Know Which Alex Toth Tale We'll Present...Yet!

But, We Guarantee That...

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

You don't have to wait until next week!

The heart-tugging conclusion will be posted...

You'll cry your eyes out if you miss it!

Love is a Prison YOUNG LOVE "Love Behind Bars! II" Conclusion

When Last We Left Our Innocent Protagonist...

...actually, this scene is about to happen...sort of!

Stephanie freaks out as she's about to meet her incarcerated boyfriend Vic as he is released from prison!
Returning home, she hastily packs, leaves a note for her parents, and boards a bus for New York City!
En route, she chats with her seatmate, a friendly old man who warns her of the perils of the Big City.
When Steph arrives at Manhattan's Port Authority bus terminal, she's shocked to discover the geezer had pickpocketed her, leaving her without money, credit cards, or ID!
When a pimp, seeing the distraught young woman, attempts to pick her up, he driven away by an elderly couple who claim they're from the "Travelers' Protection Agency" who bring her to their building, a hotel/halfway house for wayward girls...

Boy, when the Comics Code Authority loosened up the guidelines in 1971...they really loosened them!

A pimp, a cathouse/bordello with its' mistress (with her aide), and a hot-to-trot "john"!
Not exactly a typical day in a DC comic, eh?
So, in a somewhat-truncated ending, Vic's totally-innocent (and his conviction expunged), and Steph's released without even being booked (thus no arrest record)?

Don't ya just love a happy ending?
