Love in the Time of Covid-19 SWEETHEARTS "My Last Chance for Love"

Last week, we told you the later, shorter version of this tale... 

...now here's the earlier, longer (and sassier) version, beginning with the second page!

Now we return to the story we re-presented last week...

Why were five pages from this tale from Fawcett's SweetHearts #83(1950) cut from the reprint we showed you last week?

Did the Comics Code Authority (which didn't exist when this story was first published) insist on the alterations?

And, if so...why?

We'll never know the answers!

Love in the Time of Covid-19 MY SECRET LIFE "My Last Chance for Love"

Think only we humans suffer during pandemics and epidemics?

Here's a tale involving doctors and patients you've never seen before on this blog!

Is this what passed for "true love" back in the 1950s?

This story from Charlton's My Secret Life #19 (1957) seems to think so!

But there's a kicker to this!

Love in the Time of Covid-19 YOUNG ROMANCE "Scheduled for Heartbreak"

What happens when step-siblings in a mixed marriage fall in love?

It sure as hell ain't gonna be the Brady Bunch!

But that's not even the big plot twist in this never-reprinted story from Prize's Young Romance #103 (1959-1960)!

You just knew there had to be a disease somewhere in there!

And, of course, there's hope that modern science would somehow save the doomed step-brother/bridegroom!

If not, que sera sera!

BTW, before you freak out, only in Virginia is it illegal for step-siblings to marry!

It's not like they're actually brother and sister, or even first cousins!

Love in the Time of Covid-19 TRUE LOVE CONFESSIONS "Fool's Gold..."

Why is it that most stories involving two medical personnel in love show the woman as a nurse?

And that she's in the profession only to find a doctor to marry?

This never-reprinted tale from Premier's True Love Confessions #8 (1955) features not one but two studly doctors for the nurse to choose from!

The story, illustrated by Hy Fleishman, also gives Lila a third guy (rich, older, but non-medical) to choose from!

But in the end, she opts for the poor, but dedicated, Roc!

Love in the Time of Covid-19 LOVE ROMANCES "Confessions of Judith Temple"

Despite the lurid title...

...this is a story about disease and it's effect on a young woman's life!

Wow! How things have changed!

To think a bunch of busybody biddies might have the power to drive someone out of town without any evidence of wrongdoing!

Sounds a lot like the chant "LOCK HER UP!", eh?

"Infantile paralysis" is another name for polio, for which Dr Jonas Salk developed a vaccine in 1955, four years after this never-reprinted story from Atlas' Love Romances #19 was published!

Versatile multi-genre illustrator Frank R. Sieminsky did several dozen comic stories from romance to Westerns to crime and horror from the late 1940s to early 1950s.

What he did after that is unknown...
