Cover by Harry Harrison and Bob Bache. Stories and art by Doug Wildey, Manny Stallman, Harry Harrison, Bob Bache and Henry Kiefer. Tales of love and heartbreak, with a twist: in-story appearances by real-life musicians of the era. Pat's romance almost goes awry, until an intervention by real-life singing legend Mel Torme, in a surprise cameo. Plus a profile and photo of Mel Torme. If you're a Mel Torme fan, this is the comic book for you! Cindy falls in with the wrong crowd and gets involved in teen gangs, weapons smuggling, zip guns, and a shooting, in a story much like the "juvenile delinquent" films of the era. College coed Betty Jo suspects her football-player boyfriend Hack is involved in a betting ring, but the truth is more complicated, in a story with early art by Doug Wildey. Cover features a photo of Mel Torme, along with his nickname, "The Velvet Fog." Mel Torme, DRx of Love; War Can't Stop Love; Mel Torme - The Velvet Fog; I Was a Teen-Age Toughie; Captain of My Heart! 32 pages, Full Color. Cover price $0.10.
