    Stories and art by Robert Louis Stevenson, Betty Baker, and Dorothy Bowen. This early romance comic from Fawcett had particularly complex plots to go with the tears and kisses. Alicia sets out to woo Bob away from his girlfriend Connie. In town to negotiate a contract, June realizes the handsome man she's negotiating with is the same one who once rescued her father. Sally's the sort of gal who blames others for her mistakes, but she soon learns that doesn't work on the guy she's fallen for. And a romantic poem by Robert Louis Stevenson in comics form. Plus a pin-up of screen legend Joseph Cotten, star of Citizen Kane and future star of Hitchcock's Shadow of a Doubt. Trouble Maker; Romance; My Tremulous Heart; And Be My Love; New Secretary Wanted; Love's Epitaph; I Was Deceitful; Romantic Secrets' Star of the Month: Joseph Cotten. 48 pages, Full Color. Cover price $0.10.
