Lost Love FALLING IN LOVE "I Found My Love at the WoodStock Festival!"

...we had no idea there was a second, also never-reprinted tale...from DC, of all places!
(And this story came out months before the Marvel one!)
Penciled by Werner Roth, inked by Murphy Anderson, and scripted by...well, we don't know who wrote this rather saccharine story...it's nowhere near as "gritty" or realistic (if you can call any comic book tale "realistic") as the My Love piece we ran last week.
To offer a comparison...
The
My Love creatives, Gary Friedrich and Gray Morrow were 28 and 38, respectively.
The Falling in Love creatives, Werner Roth and Murphy Anderson, were 50 and 46 at the time.
So we're looking at a differing generational point of view of those events between the two tales...and it really shows!

A Month of...MICHELLE "He's the One I Want!"

...actually, the first panel has all the info you need, so let's proceed with this never-reprinted story from DC's Young Love #82 (1970)!
Though the promo copy doesn't state it, the next chapter is the finale to this "mini-series", and you'll see it, not "next month" but...
NEXT WEEK!

A Month of...MICHELLE "Wrong Boy!"

We Have Already Seen...

...recently-orphaned innocent teenager Michelle is adopted by her rich uncle, and is adapting to life in his upper-crust neighborhood...
While the comic's readers had to wait two issues and four months (It was a bi-monthly) for her next appearance after this one in DC's Young Love #80 (1970), you can see that story...
NEXT WEEK!
And We Guarantee...
You'll Cry Your Eyes Out if You Miss It!

With art by the team (who did all four stories in the series) of penciler Win Mortimer and inker Vince Colletta, this second chapter is likely written by Jack Miller, who we do know scripted the final two chapters, thanks to detective work by historian Scott Edelman!
