HEART AND SOUL "Second Love"

There are lots of stories about "first love", but few about the second time around.
Why is that?
While the writer of this never-reprinted tale from MikeRoss' Heart and Soul #1 (1954) is unknown, the art is by Ross Andru (pencils) & Mike Esposito (inks) on the first page and Mike Sekowsky (pencils) & Jack Abel (inks) on the rest of the story.
It's fair to assume that Andru and Esposito, as the editor and art director, did the first page of each story to give the other creatives a story "springboard" as well as model imagery for the primary characters.
Clever idea.
Too bad their publishing company was so short-lived.
Trivia: the company produced only four titles...three romance books (two of which were 3-D) and a MAD-style humor comic!
Next Week...
We don't know yet what we'll present!
But, we can guarantee that...
You'll Cry Your Eyes Out if You Miss It!
(Yeah, we say that a lot...but it's true!)
