Girls' Romances #144

Girls' Romances #144 (On Sale: August 25, 1969) has another great sexy-girl cover by Nick Cardy.

Inside we have "How Can He Love Anyone Who Looks Like Me?" which is drawn by Ric Estrada and Vinnie Colletta. Joan is embarrassed by a small mole on her cheek, but she knows she's found the right guy when he calls it a "beauty mark."

Next is "Summer Time Romance" by Winslow Mortimer and George Roussos.. Jill breaks up with her summer boyfriend Bruce when she learns he is engaged, but finds that she can't get him out of her mind when she returns home. Both of these first two stories were later renamed and reprinted in Young Romance #202.

The book ends with "I Couldn't Be Faithful" drawn by Ric Estrada and Vinny Colletta Diane moves easily from one guy to the next until no one will date her because of her reputation. She gets another chance when her family moves to another town, and she decides to do things differently. This story was later renamed and reprinted in Young Love #112.

Edited by Murray Boltinoff.
