Young Romance #175

Young Romance #175 (On Sale: August 12, 1971), has a cover by I'm not sure. Some say Jay Scott Pike, but, not likely I think. The grease pencil style of inking looks more like Win Mortimer or even Jack Sparling, but I don't think it is Sparling.

We are back to the editor's Robert Kanigher obsession with "I Didn't Want His Love" by Robert Kanigher and Norman Nodel. I'm not sure how this story came about since it is only one of two stories Nodel (born Nochem Yeshaya in 1922 ) did for DC. His other piece is from the British Classics Illustrated comic book, an issue which the American publishers of Classics Illustrated decided not to publish and was sold instead to DC. This saw print as Showcase #43 (1963) featuring Doctor No. With this purchase, DC held the rights to a James Bond comic for ten years.  In 1972, as their rights were close to expiring, Jack Kirby and Alex Toth were contacted, but DC ultimately decided against it, feeling unsure about the future of the characters as Sean Connery made what he stated would be his last appearance as 007, in Diamonds Are Forever. Finally, something interesting about this book. This story was reprinted from Girls' Romances #130 (1968).

Our next reprint is "Good-Bye, Lover" by Robert Kanigher, Mort Drucker, and Bob Lander and reprinted from Girls' Romances #20 1953). Lander worked as an inker at DC from 1951 through 1953.

Heart Throbs #132

Heart Throbs #132 (On Sale: April 20, 1971), has a cover by, well, who knows? Some say this is Creig Flessel, but I seriously doubt it. He had not worked for DC in ten years and would not start back for two more. The woman reminds me of Bob Oksner, but it might be Winslow Mortimer.

Edited by Dorothy Woolfolk. Born in 1913, Dorothy takes over the editorship of all seven DC romance books starting this month. Dorothy Woolfolk was one of the first women in the American comic book industry. She served from 1942 to 1944 as an editor at All-American Publications, one of the three companies that would merge to form the present-day DC, then spent the next two years at Timely Comics, the 1940s predecessor to Marvel Comics, and in 1948 was an editor at EC Comics.

Woolfolk said she had found Superman's invulnerability dull and that DC's flagship hero might be more interesting with an Achilles' heel such as adverse reactions to a fragment of his home planet. This gave rise to the famous fictional metal kryptonite, which made its first appearance in the comics in the story "Superman Returns To Krypton!", credited to writer Bill Finger, in Superman #61 (1949).

She wrote an unknown number of Wonder Woman stories in the 1940s, making her the first woman to write the character. She also wrote for the science fiction magazine Orbit during the 1950s, and in the 1970s and early 1980s was the author of the 10-book Scholastic Press young-adult novel series about teen detective Donna Rockford.

Her second husband was 1930s comic-strip cartoonist and 1940s comic-book writer Walter Galli. She met her third husband, novelist William Woolfolk, during her stint at DC when she rejected a script he had submitted for a Superman comic book. Woolfolk was nominated every year from 2001 to 2004 for induction into the Women Cartoonists Hall of Fame and in 2018 Woolfolk won the Bill Finger Award. Dorothy Woolfolk died in November 2000.

We begin with "Busybody -- Empty Arms," also inked by Vinnie Colletta. That is followed by "Tame a Wild Heart," penciled by John Rosenberger. We end with "Unloved and Unwanted" drawn by Murphy Anderson.

Murphy Anderson was not a regular on the romance comics, so this was a treat.

Murphy Anderson  was born July 9, 1926 and worked for companies such as DC Comics for over fifty years, entering the comic book industry in 1944 drawing the "Suicide Smith", "Sky Rangers", and "Star Pirate" features for Fiction House. From 1947 to 1949, Anderson was the artist on the Buck Rogers comic book series. During the 1950s, Anderson worked for several publishers including Pines Comics, Marvel Comics, St. John Publications, Ziff Davis, and DC Comics, where he found a home.

In Strange Adventures  Anderson became the artist of the "Captain Comet" with the story "The Girl from the Diamond Planet" story in issue #12, Sept. 1951). Another Strange Adventures feature drawn by Anderson was the Atomic Knights which debuted in issue #117, June 1960 and which Anderson later described as his favorite assignment. Anderson and writer Gardner Fox launched the Silver Age Hawkman series in May 1964 and introduced the Zatanna in issue #4.The Spectre was revived by Fox and Anderson in Showcase #60 in Feb. 1966) and was given his own series in December 1967.

Most fans remember Anderson as an inker. His work over Carmine Infantino's pencils on Adam Strange were top notch, but Murphy is maybe best remembered as the inker for Curt Swan in Superman and Action Comics. in the 1970s. The fans dubbed them Swanderson. In 1973, he established Murphy Anderson Visual Concepts, which provided color separations and lettering for comic books.

Girls' Romances #150

Girls' Romances #150 (On Sale: May 26, 1970) has a cover by John Rosenberger and Vince Colletta. As usual, with anything Colletta inked, the penciler is a guess people have made.

We begin with our cover-story, "Too Much Loving...

Secret Hearts #145

Secret Hearts #145 (On Sale: May 21, 1970) has a cover said to be by Bill Draut, but I see other hands at work on this.

We begin with "I Have Him Now" by Joe Gill and Bill Draut. Lenora schemes to take Calvin away from her cousin Sally, but when she wins and marries Cal, she finds that he's a compulsive gambler who only married her because he though she was richer than her cousin and he needed more money for gambling.

Following that is a one-pager entitled "Gemini Woman" by Raymond Marais and John Celardo.

Next is "Beware of a Frenchman's Kisses" by Joe Gill, John Celardo and people claim Nick Cardy, but I don't think so. Sure a few panels here and there (mainly page 4) have a Cardy look, but that is also a Celardo look, when he got a brushy and loose. Eleanor's Aunt Mary gives her a trip to Paris as a graduation gift and accompanies her as chaperone. While visiting a museum, her aunt bows out from dinner, telling her niece to no go to Chez Angelique, as the clientele is "unspeakable." So, of course, that is where she goes and when she gets there she finds a table waiting for her with artist Paul Rowan, from the museum, already seated. He said as soon as he heard her aunt tell her not to go there that she would of course show up.  After dinner they go to a café together and he walks her home. It is there that she learns that her aunt set up the whole thing.

We end with "I Didn't Want to Do It" by Jack Miller, Jay Scott Pike and John Rosenberger. When Darrell breaks up with Ginny, she hatches a scheme to get revenge on him by enlisting her friend, Felice, to date Darrell and break up with him after he falls in love with her. The plan goes well until  Felice actually falls in love with Darrell herself. Got to say that the artwork on this story is very good.
