Beach Read THEY ALL CAME TO DIE! "Chapter 2...Death Plays Host"

When Last We Left Our Heroine...

Judith Freemont and three other people are invited to a remote island by rich recluse John Ames.
When they arrive, Ames is nowhere to be found, and only a caretaker and his wife are there.
At dinner, the guests' place settings all include notes accusing each of them of...murder!
Plus, it turns out that the caretaker couple are also accused, but unindicted, murderers as well!
One of the guests, reporter Frank Morton, takes serious interest in Judith, expressing concern for her well-being and kissing her before the guests all go to bed (in their own bedrooms)!
Then, as often happens in these tales, there's a scream and someone wakes up dead...
You'd think Judith would learn, since every time she kisses Frank, someone dies!
To Be Continued...TOMORROW!
You'll Cry Your Eyes Out If You Miss It!
This never-reprinted story by writer Jack Oleck and artist Don Heck from DC's Forbidden Tales of Dark Mansion #5 (1972).

Beach Read THEY ALL CAME TO DIE! "Chapter One...Trapped!"

What's better than reading a gothic romance graphic novel on a beach blanket on a summer day?
Nothing!
So stretch out on the aforementioned blanket (or oversized towel or chaise lounge), with a cold drink at your side, under an umbrella...and enjoy!

TOMORROW!
You'll Cry Your Eyes Out If You Miss It!
This never-reprinted story by writer Jack Oleck and artist Don Heck from DC's Forbidden Tales of Dark Mansion #5 (1972)...
...was the last gasp of the company's attempt at gothic romance.
In fact, the book itself was originally titled Dark Mansion of Forbidden Love, but the title was altered as the book's format changed from Gothic romance to horror stories!
The "sister" Gothic romance comic Sinister House of Secret Love had already become the horror comic Secrets of Sinister House!
But this book-length story had already been completed, so the decision was made to use it, but under the new title.

WARTIME ROMANCES "Lovelife of an Army Nurse"

It is said that "All is fair in love and war"...

...as this nurse learns the hard way in a story from St John's Wartime Romances #1 (1951)!
Penciled by legendary "good girl" artist Mat Baker and inked by Ray Osirin, this tale of combat and cattiness was typical of the more adult approach that St John's creatives took in their various romance titles.
