Why is information for Young Heroes In Love #13 on this issue of Star Comics?
   By
The Dan Hastings strip has some really interesting art--the full pager of the Romeo and Juliet balcony scene is startlingly good--and the Cheerio Minstrels scared me. Overall, high-quality stuff.
   By
Much interesting work here by Joseph Clemens Gretter (who also signed himself "Gretta"). Gretter illustrated a ton of books for the Stratemeyer Syndicate, including the original Hardy Boys series, for which he designed the book-spine logo. He also drew "Believe It Or Not" during the 1940s. We also get a page from Dick Moores, later of "Gasoline Alley" fame.

The fool with the fool's cap looks like the german 'Till Eulenspiegel'. [ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Till_Eulenspiegel ]
