A post-war, pre-Code romance comic from pioneering female publisher Rae Herman of Orbit-Wanted (who doubled as Love Diary's advice columnist, Ray Mann). Stephen is torn between steady Beth and exciting bad girl Roxy, in one of two early stories (and cover) in this issue by future Marvel and Conan legend John Buscema. Buscema also drew "Love Slave!," in which Carla falls for boxing champ Ray while on vacation, forcing boyfriend David to step up. Movie star Lily tries to control the image and behavior of her daughter Jane, but Jane is ready to be her own woman.
