Molly Manton's Romances #1
In "Too Many Loves!", Molly Manton’s boarding house becomes the unlikely stage for a whirlwind romance gone awry when eloping couple John and Sally are interrupted by Sally’s father Charles and her wealthy suitor Howard. Tensions flare when Charles dismisses John as unsuitable, but a sudden threat from an armed stranger—played by one of Molly’s boarders, actor Pete—saves the day and changes everything. With art by Pete Tumlinson and inks by George Klein, this 1949 tale of love, class, and mistaken identity unfolds in a single, tightly wound issue.

John and Sally arrive at Molly’s boarding house; they are eloping. However, Sally’s father Charles and suitor Howard show up to prevent the wedding.

Charles withdraws his objections to the marriage. Later, Molly thanks actor Pete, one of her boarders, for playing the role of the irate man.
