Many of these stories were re-worked from pre-Code romance comics, some rather clumsily, with art altered, and titles and dialogue changed, or sometimes deleted entirely.

Ed's sickly mother manages to take over his life, distressing his new wife, redheaded Jean. Bonnie is eager to marry Steve, but then wonders why they have no money even though he works late every night. Cover may be the work of comics legend Joe Simon. Unfit to Manage; Doormat Wife!; Bride of the Month; Dollhouse Bride; The Baby's Room; Too-Perfect Marriage!; Never Leave Me. 36 pages, full color. Cover price $0.10.
