Young Love #88

Young Love #88 (On Sale: July 20, 1971), has a  cover by Don Heck and Dick Giordano.

We begin with "Take Back Your Love" by Jack Oleck, John Rosenberger, and Vince Colletta. Ellen's boyfriend Clay comes back from the war with serious injuries and refuses to resume their relationship. Ellen can't move on with anyone else until, after Clay's death, she finds proof that he kept on loving her until the end.

Next up is "The Secret of Happiness" drawn by John Rosenberger and reprinted from Girls' Romances#101 (1964). Raven's sister sets her up with Miles, a local widower.

That brings us to "The Sister" penciled by Winslow Mortimer. Penny thinks her sister Wilma is trying to steal her boyfriend but they are only preparing for a surprise party for Penny's birthday.

Next is "Stand-In for Ginny" by creators unknown. Sue believes that she'll never find a guy of her own as long as her more glamorous roommate Ginny is around.

We end with "I'll Find You Again" drawn by Gene Colan and reprinted from Young Love #56 (1966). Nora returns to the site of her summer romance with Lee, which ended when he left in the fall. Though she is nearly overwhelmed with sad memories, she meets Michael again and remembers how kind he was to her after Lee left.
