    I am a woman in love
    And I do anything
    To get you into my world
    And hold you within
    It's a right I defend
    Over and over again
    What do I do?



    Incidentally, if anyone who the artist on this cover was, I'd be interested in knowing. None of my usual sources list an artist credit. It was probably one of the artists who did covers for Ziff-Davis' pulp magazines, but it would be nice to have an actual name.

    You can literally FEEL her pain as her heart breaks at what she sees! Cover by Jay Scott Pike (1924-2015):



    **********

    A few years ago, Archie Comics artist Dan Parent recreated that cover with Betty on the receiving end of the anguish:

    Yes, and the artist's name is in the GCD entry. https://www.comics.org/issue/259366/

    GCD, while not perfect, updates its information on a regular basis. It's a pretty handy resource.

    Marvel was still doing Romance comics into the early 1970s. No cover credit is given but comics.org lists Jack Abel with a question mark.

    One of the stories in this issue was done by 3 artists!
