    • Centerfold detached.

    Romance comics from Fawcett with tales of love, betrayal, heartache and - in the later issues - sometimes crime. Nora manipulates her friends Fay and Paul into getting married for her own motives, but doesn't know what to do when her careful plan goes off the rails. In a story told by a guy with tough-talking narration, Jack uses his money to woo beautiful Julie, but when he falls for her, "it all adds up to a swift kick in the region of the heart!" In another story seemingly better suited for Fawcett's crime comics, fugitive Joey falls for hostage Kathy, who suspects he's more soft-hearted than he appears. Enemy in the House; I Bought the Girl I Love!; Play On, Maestro!; The Choice. 32 pages, Full Color. Cover price $0.10.
