    Pre-Code romance comic from Canadian publisher Superior, featuring elements of crime, infidelity and good-girl art that later romance comics eschewed. Farmer's wife Martha is shocked at the way her bad-girl cousin Sally throws herself at her husband Bill. Anne falls for wealthy gadabout Phil, ignoring her brother's warnings that he's a notorious ladies' man. Bored with her older husband (who looks like Clark Kent), Jean hides her wedding ring to flirt with handsome Jim, then wonders if she's gone too far. Also featuring a vintage ad for the Rosary Cross of Seven Sorrows. Lesson for a Cheat; Gal on the Make; Loves Happy Landing; Runaway Romance. Final issue of the series. 32 pages, Full Color. Cover price $0.10.
