Young Romance #172

Young Romance #172 (On Sale: April 27, 1971), has a cover by Don Heck and Vince Colletta. and it is a fairly uninteresting piece of work.

We start this issue with "Too Young for Love" by Robert Kanigher, George Tuska, and Vince Colletta.

Next is "A Kiss to Remember" drawn by John Forte and reprinted from Girls' Romances #64 (1959).

That is followed by "The Lie" drawn by Artie Saaf and Vince Colletta.

That leads us to "He Loves Me Not" drawn by Mike Sekowsky and Bernard Sachs and reprinted from Falling in Love #34 (1960). Should a girl just wait for the man she loves to notice her?

Next up is "I Can't Marry You, Darling" drawn by John Romita and reprinted from Heart Throbs #99 (1966). We were deeply in love... but when it came to marrying him I ran into a stone wall of opposition.

That brings us to "Heartache for Three" reprinted from Girls' Love Stories #13 (1951). This one is a little different in that there is a new header at the top of page one and a new panel at the end of the story, mentioning that this story is a classic from twenty years ago, reprinted exactly as it was back then, and then asking the reader to respond if they would like to see more. This was a change from the normal DC policy of updating hair styles and clothing on the reprinted romance stories.

So we end with "So Little Time" reprinted from Falling in Love #33 (1960). There was so little time for happiness.
