INTIMATE LOVE "Kissing Tells"

Is it better to be a "good" or "bad" girl?

See, this never-reprinted feature from Standard's Intimate Love #21 (1953) proves good girls who occasionally neck get more guys than bad girls who let them get to "first base" (or more)!

Writer/artist Vernon Greene did a number of stories and one-page features for romance titles at both Standard and Atlas (later Marvel) in 1952-53 before returning to full-time work on various syndicated newspaper comic strips.

MY LOVE "Only Myself to Blame!"

When Last We Left Our Heartbroken Heroine...

...well, who can tell us better than Stan (the Man) Lee?

And now, on with the only two-part tale in Marvel romance comic history...

Sal Buscema took over on inking from John Romita Sr, but otherwise the creative lineup stayed the same for this sequel tale from Marvel's My Love #4 (1969).

Oddly though both this and it's lead-in story were reprinted a couple of times, they were never reprinted either in the same issue or back-to-back issues!

BTW, the cover above says "My Love #38".

It's actually the cover from the previous story, reversed.

This chapter of the two-parter wasn't given the cover, so we decided to run the rather nice John Romita Sr piece as our header.

BTW, when reprinted, this tale didn't appear in My Love #38 or #39!

It appeared in Our Love Story #22 (1973), three years before the previous part was reprinted in My Love #38 (1976)!

MY LOVE "Man I Must Not Love"

Besides featuring the work of three of Silver Age Marvel's artistic legends...

...this is the opener of the only two-part tale Marvel's romance line ever published!

Scripted by Stan Lee, penciled by John Buscema, and inked by John Romita (Sr), the cover-featued tale from My Love #3 (1970) has been reprinted a couple of times...but, oddly without the sequel story being reprinted either in the same issue, or even the next issue!
Weird, eh!

Next Week...
The "Soul-Stirring Sequel"!
