Stories and art by Doug Wildey, Stephen Kirkel, Ed Goldfarb, Bob Baer, Harry Harrison and Henry Kiefer. Tales of love and heartbreak, with a twist: appearances by real-life musicians of the era. Real-life singing star Frankie Laine and his assistant Tom scour the city for a mysterious singer with a golden voice, never suspecting Jo, Tom's neglected girlfriend. Plus a profile and photo of Frankie Laine. In an anti-drug story that seems an odd choice for a romance comic, orphaned Mary tries to help her heroin-addicted sister and gets busted for transporting drugs as a result. Aspiring figure skater Gloria is tricked by a rival into performing a dangerous knife-jumping stunt that already injured one skater, in a story with early art by Doug Wildey. Cover (featuring a photo of Frankie Laine) may be the work of Wildey as well. Frankie Lane in Cherchez la Femme; Monkey On Her Back; A Date With Fame; The Show Must Go On!; Which Way Lies Happiness. 36 pages, Full Color. Cover price $0.10.
