Girls' Love Stories #146

Girls' Love Stories #146 (On Sale: August 12, 1969) has a cover by George Tuska and Vinny Colletta.

We began with "Abandoned" drawn by Tony Abruzzo and Mike Peppe. Fashion model Susan is dumped by her boyfriend, Peter, and can't seem to get over it. She is even rude to her model friend, Amy, who she used to give advice to. Photographer, Clay, is in love with Susan, but she is unable to get over Peter, till one night when she receives a call from Amy, saying she doesn't want to live and has taken "quite a lot" of sleeping pills. At Amy's apartment, Susan and Clay find her struggling to stay awake and alive and the help her walk and drink coffee to stay awake. Susan tells Amy, that one little setback is not going to ruin her life. By morning Amy is out of the woods and agrees. So does Susan, who leaves to start a new relationship with Clay.

That is followed by "Secret Love" by Ric Estrada and Bernard Sachs. We finish with our cover-story, "Which Love is Mine?" pencilled by John Rosenberger.
