“The Truth About a Lie!”

In Heart Throbs #116 (1968), a 12-cent comic from DC’s romance anthology lineup, Barbara Friedlander crafts a layered drama where secrets and emotions collide. As Marian grapples with a painful revelation about Jed and his wife Vicki, a mysterious stranger steps in with quiet concern, while Larry faces professional peril over his relationship with Chris—only to be saved by her sharp-eyed exposure of Jane’s schemes. Jay Scott Pike’s expressive art, inked by George Roussos and Pike himself, brings emotional depth to the story, with the cover by Pike capturing the tension in a single, striking moment.
