In "No Chance at Love!", Pam finally finds a boy who doesn’t fall for her best friend Sheila’s attention-grabbing ways—though Sheila isn’t the least bit bothered by it. Art Peddy’s expressive artwork, inked by Bernard Sachs and lettered by Ira Schnapp, brings the quiet tension of teenage romance to life, while Carmine Infantino’s cover captures the moment with a touch of playful drama, Joe Giella’s inks lending it that classic 1950s DC flair.
