    Cover by William Zeller. Stories and art by Ira Zweifach, Martin Smith, Richard Akin, Beresford King, Jesse Merlan, Bob Cohen, Alvin Hollingsworth, Walter Palais and Tony Tallarico.

Real-life American trombonist and bandleader Buddy Morrow saves a young woman from drowning and helps her patch things up with her boyfriend.

Helen falls in love with both John and the house he's building, but when she sees him with another woman, she literally sets the place on fire. Plus a profile of Hollywood legends Marge and Gower Champion. Cover features a photo of Buddy Morrow. One-Sided Love; Strictly Business!; Heartless Flirt!!; Marge and Gower Champion; House of Dreams. 32 pages, Full Color. Cover price $0.10.
