Hollywood Secrets #2

A dreamy blonde rests her chin on her hands, gazing at a framed portrait of a handsome man in a tuxedo — her conflicted expression perfectly capturing the cover's tantalizing tagline about burning kisses and smoldering embers of love. Bill Ward's linework brings a polished Hollywood glamour to this second issue of Quality Comics' romance series, with every detail — the perfume bottle, the rose, the vanity table — setting a mood of sophisticated longing. If the promise of "Ladies' Man" inside is half as compelling as Ward's cover, this 1950 ten-cent read delivers romance with real style.
