Beach Read TO WED THE DEVIL Chapter 5 "Marriage of Fear"

...comely ingenue Sarah Shulman has apparently been seduced by the elegant, handsome, and sinister Baron Dumont, whom she is to wed so his wealth can prevent her banker father from being imprisoned for embezzlement!
More accepting of her fate, the innocent girl returns to her room...

You may wonder, how did Sarah's uncle and his friend save her and Justin?

Well, they're not exactly amateurs at this sort of thing!

The demon-fighting duo previously-appeared a couple of months earlier in DC's House of Secrets #89 (1971).

Considering how, without knowing who they were, their appearance at the climax of this tale is somewhat "out of left field", a footnote earlier in the tale would've been welcome!
It's probable that editor Joe Orlando felt audiences for straight supernatural comics and gothic romance comics wouldn't overlap, but still, a little "cross pollination" of audiences wouldn't have been out of place...

BTW, you can read that awesome adventure HERE!

But you really must return...
