| Here we go again! I'm prepared to say that the story here, 'Too late to love' is also Mooney's inks over Sekowsky's pencils. Not only that, but the story and last panel is almost exactly the same as 'Too Late' in 3-D love. Cheeky! I remember Mooney well from his Supergirl and the work he did for Marvel in the early 70's. Sekowsky was definitely the better and more creative draftsman. |

| "Take Me Back" and "A Losing Game" are reprinted from "3D Love" #1, with new titles and splash panels. The original titles were "Forgive Me" and "Too Late."
"Forgive Me" was also edited to reduce it from 12 to 11 pages. I agree that "Too Late / Losing Game" was pencilled by Sekowsky. |

| Notes | Story is a partial reprint of "Forgive Me" from 3-D Love #1 (December 1953). Title changed, new splash panel, and length reduced by one page.
There are references to town residents "Rose Kennedy" and her son "Jackie Kennedy." In real life, Rose Kennedy was the mother of future U.S. president John F. Kennedy. Peter says "The Kennedys don't have much money!" which is a ironic joke because the real-life Kennedys were quite wealthy. |
