    Cover by Matt Baker and Ray Osrin. Stories and art by Matt Baker, Ray Osrin, Chuck Miller and Dana Dutch. Beautiful covers and art by legendary good-girl artist Matt Baker elevate St. John's 1950s romance comic above the norm. Joan gets in too deep, emotionally and otherwise, with gambling kingpin George, in a cautionary tale with art by Baker. In another Baker story, Doris dumps boring boyfriend Stu for tough-guy Lenny, only to learn that Lenny is a gentleman deep down, in a twist on the usual moral tales. Small-town gal Janie finds a job in the big city, but life gets more complicated when she falls in love with her boss. Cover by Baker. Everyone Called Me a She-Wolf; Fast Company; I Tempted the Wrong Boy; Office Romances Are Bad Business; The Seeds of Sin. 32 pages, Full Color. Cover price $0.10.
