Girls' Love Stories #152

Girls' Love Stories #152 (On Sale: May 14, 1970) has another cover butchered by Vinny Colletta's inks. The inks might be hiding the pencils of Artie Saaf.

We begin with a Table of Contents drawn by Liz Berube.

That leads to "Laura" by Barbara Friedlander, Werner Roth (or Artie Saaf ) and Jack Abel. Laura comes close to marrying several wealthy men, as her mother advises, but in the end she realizes that she truly loves a humble fisherman.

Next is "Confessions: Episode Six" by Barbara Friedlander and John Rosenberger  Jewel's plot to steal Dr. Anderson away from his ailing wife falls apart when he and April discover that Jewel has been concealing Paul's letters to April. Anderson returns to his wife and the sisters try to reconcile.

We end with our cover-story, "The Prettiest Girl in Town, Poor Thing" by Jack Miller, George Tuska and Vince Colletta. Gail dreams of being famous but she thinks she can detect when men are trying to take advantage of her. But when she falls for Darren, she doesn't see that he's willing to cheat to help her get ahead.
