    Cover by Matt Baker. Stories and art by Matt Baker, Jim Mooney, Bernard Sachs, Ric Estrada and Bob Bean. Beautiful covers and art by Matt Baker elevate St. John's 1950s romance comic above the norm. Bored housewife Mary goes to New York to find some thrills and quickly gets in over her head, in a story with art by Baker. Redheaded diner waitress Gale falls for silver-tongued salesman Jim, even though she knows from the start that he's a ladies' man, or "wolf." Teacher Lois is torn between her boss, Oliver, who doesn't respect boundaries, and simple-minded but sweet Wally, in a story with early art by future Marvel legend Jim Mooney. Cover by Baker seems the antithesis of romance. A Lesson for Bored Wives; My Man Was a Wolf; Comedy Column; Gag-Bag; I Wanted Security; The 3 R's of Romance; Kiss Thief. 32 pages, Full Color. Cover price $0.10.
