COOKIE "Turkey Meets Jerky"

I couldn't find a single romance comic with a Thanksgiving theme...

...but, thankfully (pun intended), teen humor comics have a number of them!

Note, there is a romantic sub-plot involving Cookie's girlfriend AngelPuss!

Curiously, this tale, written and illustrated by Dan Gordon, is from the same issue our previous Cookie holiday tale appeared in, ACG's Cookie #10 (1947)!

Dan Gordon was a writer-animator-director for the Fleischer Studios (Superman, Popeye), then went into comics, finally returning to animation at Hanna-Barbera where he co-created (among others) The Flintstones!

Great Treasury of Christmas Comic Book Stories

LOVE STORIES "Don't Use Me!"

"Sexual harassment" isn't a recent development...

...as this never-reprinted tale from DC's Love Stories #151 (1973) shows!

Penciled by Art Saff and inked by Vince Colletta, this tale was typical of romance comics of the 1970s, trying to show women both as self-sufficent and susceptible to a strong and handsome man!

Mercifully, the writer is unknown.

FRANKENSTEIN "Frankenstein's Wife"

For our Halloween Blogathon finale...

...we thought we'd take a look at another side to the world's most famous monster, and discover he's (unfortunately) a lot like many of today's guys...

Written and illustrated by Dick Briefer, this tale of domestic "bliss" from Prize Comics' Frankenstein #1 (1945) shows the Monster to be much like many Gen-X, and Millennial guys!

And this was written 71 years ago!

The more things change...

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!

Weird Love

Vol 1

STAR-STUDDED COMICS "Ghost Woman"

She returned from the dead to save her husband from werewolves...

...in her one-and-only appearance in Cambridge House's Star-Studded Comics #1 (1945)

If this series continued, we would have learned more about Ghost Woman's abilities and limitations and her husband John would come to the realization that she was serving as his "guardian angel".
Presumably, she'd eventually lead him to his presumed-dead daughter...who was still alive!

Unfortunately, publisher Cambridge House produced only one issue each of three anthology titles featuring a number of potentially-interesting series...and then went out of business.
None of the strips and characters were picked up by other publishers.
I'm surprised something similar to Ghost Woman hasn't come along since 1945!
Considering the ongoing popularity of both Buffy the Vampire Slayer and the Twilight Saga, a concept like Ghost Woman seems like a sure hit!
We hope you've enjoyed our month-long look at our idea of "weird love" comics.

Weird Love

Vol 1

JOURNEY INTO MYSTERY "Beware! He Isn't Human!"

Is this unseen-for-fifty-years tale a love story or a lust story?

Actually, it's both...as you shall see!

Reads like an episode of The Twilight Zone, doesn't it?

Plotted by Stan Lee, scripted by Larry Lieber, penciled by Jack Kirby, and inked by Dick Ayers, this story of hearts (both human and mechanical) first appeared in Atlas' Journey into Mystery #77 (1962), then once more in Marvel's Fantasy Masterpieces #10 (1967)!

We unearthed it from it's half-century-old tomb, dusted it off, and re-presented it for your entertainment!
