Halloween HeartBreak LIANA

...Nestled none too securely in the grim world of the future, Liana longs for the miracle that will end the pain of her lonely existence!
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!

Weird Halloween Romance NOT BRAND ECHH "Best Side Story"

What if the Silver Age Doctor Strange and Wonder Woman fell in love?

We'd probably have ended up with a serious version of this titanic tale!

Written by Roy Thomas and illustrated by Tom Sutton, this comic company crossover classic was included in Marvel's Not Brand Echh! #6 (1968)...

...a romance-oriented issue that also included a look at how a Human Scorch (Human Torch)/Gristle (Crystal) marriage would work out, and Spidey-Man (do I haveta tell you?) marrying the unlikeliest character of all!
Spoiler Alert: Its' The Wasp!

TENDER LOVE STORIES "I Wanted the World" Part 1

When most women describe themselves as "hard-working"...

...I don't think this is quite what they mean!

But then, Crystal Larson isn't planning to go though the whole "nose to the grindstone" routine...

Looks like Crystal's planning to move up in the corporate structure...as we shall see...

Next Week!

Written by Gardner Fox and illustrated by Jack Katz (with some redrawing by Skywald's art director Ross Andru along with Mike Esposito, and Frank Giacoia), this never-reprinted tale from Tender Love Stories #2 (1971) shows a more 1940s-50s mindset than a tale written at the dawn of the Womens' Lib movement should!

BTW, our sincere thanks to the amazing Kracalactaka for the scans from this incredibly-hard to find comic!

TEEN LOVE STORIES "Just Her Luck" Conclusion

When Last We Left Our Heartbroken Heroine...

..."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 Creepy, Vampirella, 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?)
