REACH FOR HAPPINESS Episode 8 Part 2

We Have Already Seen...

Dr Greg Chambers takes his fiance, Rita Phillips, to the Silva Club to unwind after a stressful day.

But, Dr Chambers is unaware that Rita and club owner Ray Silva were once a hot 'n heavy couple when she was a singer at the venue, and that Ray has announced his intentions to Rita to reclaim her from the doctor.

Rita attempts to back out, but Greg insists, and they go.

After the couple is seated...

I take it we're not going to have a discussion about Adam West's performance as Batman when our story continues...

Be back next month as we continue romance comics' longest-running soap opera!

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)

BTW: This chapter of "Reach for Happiness" from Secret Hearts #117 (1966) was written by Jack Miller, with a cover 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.

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...

Next Week...

Sisters Reunite!

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

REACH FOR HAPPINESS Episode 6 Part 2

When Last We Visited Danville Corners...

Rita forces Greg to admit he's engaged to her in front of Karen, then attempts to console the distressed, yet still love-smitten, blonde.

Rita then heads to her father, Marty's, store to tell him her rival is now out of the way...

Remember, this was the 1960s.
Karen couldn't just pop a DVD or BluRay into the player or stream one of his films on Netflix!
