☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "I Turned Into a Small-Town Flirt!", Lila, reeling from her family’s financial ruin and her father’s death, moves to a Vermont town with her mother’s urgent advice: secure a wealthy husband. As she courts a series of suitors—from the dull Philip to the calculating Gordon—her playful pursuit takes an unexpected turn when she finds herself drawn to Cary, the quiet man beneath the surface. Written by an early Marvel team and illustrated with crisp, expressive art by Mike Sekowsky, with inks by Christopher Rule and Vince Alascia, this 1950 classic captures a sharp, wry take on love and class in a small town, all for the price of a 10-cent comic.
In "I Turned Into a Small-Town Flirt!" from Love Classics #2 (1950), Lila, reeling from her family’s financial collapse and her father’s death, is pushed by her mother to secure her future through marriage to a wealthy man. Reluctantly settling into a Vermont town, she plays the game—courting the dull Philip, flirting with the kind-hearted Cary, and eyeing the older, colder John and the ruthless Gordon—until a crisis reveals Cary’s true role as the town’s bank president. The story unfolds with quiet tension and wry charm, tracking Lila’s shifting choices as she navigates love, money, and the unexpected weight of a life built on appearances.
In "Love That Man!" from Love Classics #2 (1950), Jo meets Jimmy at the train station, where he greets her as “Kitty” — a name that’s part of a clever ruse. As their pretend romance unfolds, tensions rise when Jimmy’s ex-girlfriend Rhoda grows suspicious and sets up a frame-up, forcing Jo to confront the truth behind the charade.
