Girls' Love Stories #157

Girls' Love Stories #157 (On Sale: December 29, 1970), has a cover at least inked by Tony DeZuniga. The pencils might by Artie Saaf, Werner Roth, or Bill Draut, or who knows.

We begin with the cover story, "One Husband, Two Loves" by George Kashdan, Werner Roth, and Murphy Anderson. Felice marries Amos, her much-older boss, but when she meets her handsome stepson Jeremy she finds herself attracted to him.

Next is "Love Thy Neighbor" by Jack Oleck and Artie Saaf. Millie finds her new neighbor Ben to be extremely annoying, but of course they fall in love before long.

That is followed by an untitled one-pager by Henry Boltinoff and Lee Elias. A girl realizes that she copied her test answers from the wrong person when he fails the test.

Next, we have "Your Dreams Are Mine" drawn by Mike Sekowsky and Bernard Sachs and reprinted from Heart Throbs #64 (1960). Meg's boyfriend Adam encourages her to pursue a singing career away from their small town, and he wants to go along as her manager. She becomes very successful in Los Angeles, but the big city lifestyle starts to change Adam.

We next have a half-page untitled story by Henry Boltinoff, Winslow Mortimer, and Jack Abel. Unwilling to accept her date's amorous advances, a girl tricks him into getting out of the car so that she can drive off and leave him stranded. 

We end with "Anatomy of a Romance" by Barbara Friedlander, Bill Draut, and Tony DeZuñiga. When Jean sees her boyfriend Gary with another woman she wants to break up with him, but her married sister helps her to see her mistake.
