Falling in Love #125

Falling in Love #125 (On Sale: June 10, 1971), has a cover by Artie Saaf and Vince Colletta.

We begin with our cover story, "Clinging Vine!" drawn by Artie Saaf and Vince Colletta. Sue promises not to go after Dinah's boyfriend Bill but she doesn't keep her word.

Next, we have "I Hate Your Kisses" drawn by Tony Abruzzo and reprinted from Young Romance #144 (1966), Things always go well for Carla on dates, until the boy tries to kiss her and her feelings immediately change. Eventually, she meets the right boy, whose kisses don't turn her off.

We follow that with another reprint, "Magic Moment" drawn by Mike Sekowsky and John Romita and reprinted from Girls' Love Stories #65 (1959). Hanny's daydreams about becoming a movie star get in the way of her relationship with Tommy.

Next, we have an untitled one-pager on "Do's and Dont's of Dating" drawn by Steve Englehart and Vince Colletta. Englehart is best known as a writer, but this is one of the few art pieces he did before devoting himself to writing. This looks much different than the story he did wor Warren with Neal Adams and appears to be his first (only) pencils for DC. Reprinted in Heart Throbs: The Best of DC Romance Comics (1979).

That is followed by "His Kind of Girl" penciled by Tony Abruzzo and reprinted from Girls' Romances #100 (1964). Katy always feels inferior to her best friend Lori, especially when they are competing for the same man.

We end with "Once Upon a Time" inked by Vince Colletta. Peggy borrows a dress from the store where she works to go to a fancy party where she calls herself Cindy and meets Lee, but she has to run off at midnight to return the dress and doesn't think she will ever see Lee again.
