Falling in Love #121

Falling in Love #121 (On Sale: December 22, 1970), has a wonderful cover by Tony DeZuniga.

We begin with "Love Me Tonight, Forget Me Tomorrow" drawn by Ric Estrada and Tony DeZuniga. Alice gives up a promotion and her feminist beliefs to ensure that her boyfriend advances in her place.

Next, we have "Not for These Arms" drawn by Mike Sekowsky or John Romita and Bill Draut and reprinted from Girls' Romances #85 (1962). Paul meets a despondent Elaine and tries to cheer her up, falling in love with her in the process. He later learns that she recently broke her engagement and realizes that she is only on the rebound and doesn't love him in return.

That is followed by a two-page text story "How to Be Happy -- and Single" with illustrations by John Rosenberger.

Our next story is "The Secret in My Past" with inks by the ever horrible Vince Colletta. Amy is afraid to tell her boyfriend Jimmy that she was engaged once before - until she learns that he was also once engaged.

We end with "I Gave My Love Away" drawn by Artie Saaf and Vince Colletta. Mary helps Tommy, a boxer, learn how to act in polite society but then her rich friend Iris sets her sights on him.
