Girls' Love Stories #156

Girls' Love Stories #156 (On Sale: November 12, 1970), has a cover by Bill Draut. Some say this is by Nick Cardy, but some are really wrong.

We begin with our cover-story, "Diagnosis: Heartbreak!" drawn by John Rosenberger. Nurse Chris tries to attract the attention of Dr. Lance Cramer, but when he finally falls for her after months of indifference, she fears that she is distracting him from his work.

Next, we have "Beautiful Stranger" inked by Bernard Sachs and reprinted from Secret Hearts #40 (1957). Susan befriends Nadine, who has a bad reputation for trying to steal the boyfriends of other girls. Susan grows to trust her but is shocked when she finds her boyfriend Tracy in Nadine's arms.

That is followed by "I'll Find You, My Love!" drawn by Bill Draut. Peggy falls in love with a stranger who dances with her one night, and she spends the next year trying to find him again, unable to connect with any other guy.

Next, we have "Dates 'n' Mates," a two-pager by Liz Berube.

We end with "Lover -- or Liar?" by Jack Oleck, Art Saaf, and Vince Colletta. Julie leads a campus protest, taking over a building to force the administration to listen to the protesters' demands. Ken joins the protest and slowly falls in love with Julie, though he keeps trying to convince the others that there are better ways to achieve their goals.
