Halloween HeartBreak LIANA

But, miracles can have dangerous side-effects, as Liana will soon find out!
We ran the earlier, b/w version of this tale HERE, but when we came across a color version in Eclipse's Twisted Tales of Bruce Jones #3 (1986), we couldn't resist presenting it!
Next Wednesday:
Another Tale of True Love...with a Halloween Twist!

TEEN LOVE STORIES "Just Her Luck" Conclusion

..."Another Big Romantic Picture-Story That'll Make You Cry!"?
After purchasing the 2,000th copy of the 2,000th edition of "Escort Magazine"Marion Hill wins a unique prize...24 hours with one of England's most eligible bachelors, best-selling author and man-about-town Aubrey Baron!
Meeting with the handsome and debonair Baron and learning the entire day has been choreographed to provide photo opportunities for the magazine's photographers, Marion, despite being intensely attracted to the attractive writer, intended to remain calm, cool and collected.
That didn't last long, as Aubrey all but swept her off her feet during a day-long whirlwind of shopping and carousing, topped off with a romantic dinner!
The date was everything Marion could dream of...until midnight, when Aubrey suddenly announced the 24 hours were up, and went from warm and affectionate to cold and aloof!

This tale appeared in the second issue of the short-lived 1960s magazine Teen Love Stories (not a comic book, as explained HERE) and was a reprint of a British romance strip that first appeared in Fleetway's Love Story Picture Library #584 (1966).
Of all the ongoing Warren Publishing b/w periodicals (including CreepyVampirella, and 1984), Teen Love Stories was the shortest-lived at only three issues, all of which are very hard-to-find!
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?)

(I suspect the cover art was previously-used elsewhere since it doesn't relate to the story, not do the characters like like the characters in the comic!)

TEEN LOVE STORIES "Just Her Luck" Part 1

Since Teen Love Stories tales are among our most popular posts...
...we bow to popular demand with another 1960s romance story originally-published in England, so note the differences in language and slang!

GOTHIC ROMANCES "As Midnight Becomes Morning"

Unlike their Marvel magazine rival, Gothic Tales of Love...
...Atlas/Seaboard's Gothic Romances used "name value" comic artists to illustrate their tales!
"Caroline Rivers", the author of this tale is apparently using a pseudonym.
There is a historical Lady Caroline Rivers, but the style of the story is clearly contemporary, so she can't be the writer!
One website lists her real name as "Carolyn Weaver", but I can't find anything about her, either!
The artist is Howard Chaykin, noted for his extremely-macho work on American Flagg, Blackhawk, The Shadow, etc.
He was also doing The Scorpion for Atlas/Seaboard at the time!
Next Week:
We don't know yet what we'll present, but we can guarantee...
You'll Cry Your Eyes Out if You Miss It!
