| I only read the first story and while it was a very familiar idea, it had some potential to be an ok little melodrama. Unfortunately, it’s so rushed as to be laughable. A lot of questionable and even creepy behavior exhibited at times, silly developments in the story plus a ridiculously pat ending, as per most of these romance comic tales. I do think if they had let it play out longer it would not have seemed so ludicrous, but it’s all wrapped up nearly immediately after it starts. And what island has Hispanic women dressed in Polynesian apparel? |

| I really like Frank Giusto's splash pages, makes me think he had a background in fashion drawing.
Even though not credited that has to be Frank Giusto on
'love me for myself' page 10 and also 'Man from my past' A bit of a mystery man still apparently. I never thought for a second that he was Matt Baker.
A small amount of info here.
