In the early 1970s, after decades of success, romance comics were a dying genre...
...some publishers tried gimmicks, like this one from DC's Love Stories #151 (1973), to boost sales!
For anyone who's ever read or watched something and said "I could do better than that crud", this was, no doubt, a tempting prospect!
Just come up with a couple of lines of dialogue, complete this cover by penciler Werner Roth and inker Vince Colletta, and you'd be immortalized in comic history (and pocket a sawbuck), all for the cost of a postage stamp!
Wonder what the winning balloons said?
We'll never know, because the book was cancelled with the next issue, #152, and the winner would've appeared in #153!
