STORY DETAILS

(6 Stories)

Title: I Yearned For Love!

Characters: Laura Manvell; Rod Williams; Johnny

Synopsis: Unattractive college student Laura goes home on vacation. When telephone installer Rod arrives, she’s wearing a beautiful life-like mask and he asks her for a date. That night, she poses as the maid (sans mask) when he arrives: he’s attracted to her, but she thinks it’s just because he isn’t wearing his glasses. However, Rod says he loves her and that makes her beautiful in his eyes. Laura is doubtful but eventually realises he’s sincere.

Pages: 10.000

Inks: Lee Elias ?

Letters: John Duffy

Notes: Looks so unlike Lee Elias work while it does, that it makes me wonder if he inked it (freely) over someone else.

Title: Have I the Right To Love?

Characters: Sally; Jim

Synopsis: Sally goes to work in an office at age 16 to support her widowed mother and younger siblings. Later, when Jim proposes marriage, she hesitates because he’s unaware of her family obligations.

Pages: 1.000

Pencils: Bob Powell

Inks: Bob Powell ?

Notes: This story seems to be somewhat tied in to the advice column "Dear Peggy" which follows, although the "famous authority" who gives advice in the last panel is not identified. Readers are urged to send in their problems and each issue one will be illustrated in a comic story.

Title: I Was a Mama's Girl

Characters: Louise; Bruce; Hilda; Carlo

Synopsis: Louise is the daughter of circus lion-tamer Hilda. Hilda disapproves of Louise’s romance with trapeze artist Bruce, preferring that she date Hilda’s assistant Carlo. When Bruce is in danger during rehearsal, Louise comes to his rescue, exposing Carlo as a coward. Hilda admits Louise and Bruce make a good couple.

Pages: 6.000

Title: They Called Me a Campus Cutie

Characters: Ann Couglin; Mrs. Couglin; Don; Scott Lucas

Synopsis: College student Ann goes to work as a model for slick ad photographer Scott, and thinks she’s fallen in love with him. Ann gives her former boyfriend Don the brushoff, then discovers Scott is a womanising liar. She hopes “someday Don will forgive me and return to me!”

Pages: 7.000

Notes: Could be the same artist as the first story, but without Elias inking
