Great Lover Romances #3

In a quiet corner of 1952 New York, Jo, a woman caught between duty and desire, finds her heart pulled in two directions—by the steady kindness of Eddy, the taxi driver who greets her every Friday, and the polished charm of her boss, Mr. Wentworth. When a tense ride home takes an unexpected turn, Eddy’s quiet presence becomes the one thing she never saw coming.

In "Too Fat for Love!" from Great Lover Romances #3 (1952), Dorothy—once a beloved comedy star known for her size—discovers that her journey to self-worth isn’t just about losing weight, but confronting the emotional roots of her past. As she undergoes a transformation under Dr. King’s care, she begins to question whether her newfound confidence and the affection she’s finally receiving from director Richard are built on real connection or just the illusion of change.

In "Powerhouse of Deceit!", reporter Midge finds herself drawn to boxer Mug, despite warnings from colleague Roy that he’s not what he seems. As she helps him prepare for a major bout, the truth comes crashing down when Mug admits he’s been cheating—and that she was part of the deception. The story unfolds with quiet tension, exploring trust, heartbreak, and the fragile line between admiration and betrayal.

In "I Just Love Acting!", two aspiring actresses, Pat and Peggy, land a role that’s more real than they expected—staging a street fight in front of a bank, only to be arrested when the bank is actually robbed.

Written by an unknown author and illustrated by an unknown artist, this 1952 gem blends slapstick suspense with a meta twist on performance and perception.
