Love in the Time of Covid-19 FIRST ROMANCE "Take Me"

Not every romance comics story has a happy ending!
Some are melancholy!
Some are bittersweet!
You decide which one is applicable here...
Personally, I lean towards "bittersweet", because Larry will help Mary though the crisis, and, with any luck, she'll fall for him...
This story of desire deferred and disease from Harvey's First Romance #25 (1953) was illustrated by multi-genre mainstay Bob Powell. but the author is unknown...

AGAR-AGAR "Martian Visitors"

...well, all you really need know is that a good time was had by all!
Let's continue...
This story from New England Library's Dracula #9 (1971) was written by Luis Gasca under the pen-name Sadko  and illustrated in a Peter Max-esque style by Alberto Solsona.
In prepping these scans, I discovered the stories had been published out of order!
Four weeks ago, I ran the tale from Dracula #8, so logically, the tale two weeks ago should have been #9...except the storyline from #8 lead directly into the story from #10...which leads into this one from #9, and, tomorrow, finally #11!
It'll be a groovy trip, baby!
The Startling Conclusion to this Psychedelic Saga!

Super-Love with SUPERGIRL (and WONDER WOMAN) "Revolt of the Super-Chicks" Part 3

...actually, we'll see this scene by Supergirl series artist Jim Mooney in. couple of pages!
In the meantime, all you need to know is that Supergirl has renounced being a crimefighter to become a Paris fashion model.
Wonder Woman, at Superman's request, follows Kara to talk her out of it, but becomes enraptured by a romantic Frenchman in the City of Love!
Meanwhile, metamorphing villain Multi-Face plots to steal an experimental rocket from a base nearby the "Isle of Love" where both the heroines are vacationing...
Considering they were both ready to throw away their careers (and in Wonder Woman's case, her long-time love Steve Trevor),  the ending seems a bit...contrived!
The two heroines would meet again in the final issue of Wonder Woman before she renounced her powers for totally-different reasons...
Err...never mind!
BTW, you can read this tale HERE!

Continue the adventure at...

A cameo by Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton!

Superman doing an amazing "Adam West as Batman" imitation when discussing romance!

And easily-swayed, apparently-nymphomaniac, superheroines!
