    Art by Jack Kamen and Al Feldstein. A public-health giveaway from EC, back when the company was still run by Max Gaines and called "Educational Comics." The story issues a strong warning against infidelity and the risk of sexually transmitted diseases, then called "venereal disease." Handsome boxer Al Jackson is a champ in the ring, but his marriage with Jeanie suffers because of his travels and wild lifestyle. But when Jeanie gets pregnant and tests positive for syphilis, he gets serious fast. Produced by EC for the Columbia University Press, and probably distributed to schools, military bases and the like; only a handful are known to survive. 16 pages, Full Color.
