DARK MANSION OF FORBIDDEN LOVE "Grey Lady of Coburn Manor" Chapter Two: Who is Walking on My Grave?

...notice how guys always say that to women who've just been scared out of their minds?
Penciler Ernesto Chan (aka Ernie Chan and Ernie Chua) was one of the wave of Filipino artists who worked in American comics from the early 1970s to the early 1990s.
Unlike most of his comtemporaries, he moved to the US and became a citizen.
Besides being DC's primary cover artist for several years, his best-known work was on the b/w Savage Sword of Conan.

STRANGE CONFESSIONS "I Was an Artist's Model"

Why do some women fall for arrogant, dominant men?
Perhaps this tale can offer an answer...
Illustrated by George Olesen, this never-reprinted tale from Ziff-Davis' Strange Confessions #4 (1952) has a semi-50 Shades of Grey vibe, but the heroine manages to overcome the "temptation" of the overly-controlling guy.
BTW, the writer is, mercifully for him or her, unknown, but might well be the Ziff-Davis comics line's editor, Jerry (Superman) Siegel!
Next week:
The Return of Reach for Happiness...
You'll Cry Your Eyes Out if You Miss It!
(Things are really getting juicy...)
