   By dwilt
Interesting "romance" comic with some edgy stories. The first two aren't really romance at all: one is basically a crime story, the other a curious "drama." The last two stories each feature protagonists with secrets: one is an ex-convict, the other had an insane father who was killed by her mother (and her mother shoots another man in the course of the story!). Artist Art Cappello worked for Charlton, mostly in romance comics, for years. At least in the early Fifties he liked to sneak in a sexy panel or two in nearly every story. Check out page 4, 11,12, 23, 29.
