Although I am not into Romance Comics, I saw this was recently uploaded and decided to take a look for the heck of it. GCD doesn't have any info regarding the penciler and/or inker or if it is the same person. The art is very nice. I am very curious who may have illustrated it.

Looked this up on GCD. https:www.comics.org/issue/229927/ Edited by Ruth Roche and S.M. Iger but they have no info on the artist[s].

Looks like "Iger Shop" artwork, i.e., anonymous artists working away for a couple of bucks a page. I kind of like it, to me it just screams "1950s comics from minor publishers."

GenreCrime; Detective-mystery
CharactersDodge Scott; Lynn Scott; Inspector Dixon; President Wellson; Professor Felix Booth; Miss Lawson; Ruth Gordon
First LineI'm a pretty lucky fellow for a private dick...
NotesThis story, originally titled "You Only Live Once!", was intended for *Ellery Queen* (1949 Superior) #5, which was never published. Dodge is referred to as “Mr. Queen” on page 2.

This is not a romance genre story. The original title is not really relevant, but changing it to "You Only Love Once!" makes it even more pointless.
