Girls' Romances #150

Girls' Romances #150 (On Sale: May 26, 1970) has a cover by John Rosenberger and Vince Colletta. As usual, with anything Colletta inked, the penciler is a guess people have made.

We begin with our cover-story, "Too Much Loving... Too Many Tears" drawn by Artie Saaf and Vince Colletta.  Some credit the pencils to George Tuska, but Saaf's own invoice says otherwise, but this is the problem with Colletta's inks, the pencils are destroyed by them. Vanessa marries pro football player Wally, but when he is injured and confined to a wheelchair, he fears that she will be drawn back to her old boyfriend Nick.

Next is "The Loneliest Girl in Town" drawn by Jack Sparling and Vince Colletta. Amanda's career as a model keeps her too busy for romance, until she finds someone who's gone unnoticed the whole time -- her manager Burt.

We end with "I Lived a Lie" drawn by Ric Estrada and, yep, you guessed it, Vince Colletta. Julie marries Steve just before he leaves for Vietnam. Months later, Steve's friend Roy, who has always loved Julie, comes to tell her that Steve is missing in action, but another secret may prevent Roy from ever getting closer to Julie.
