Star Love Stories #325

In "Dream Chaser," a 1969 D.C. Thomson romance story, aspiring starlet Tina is smitten the moment she sees film star Nick Marlowe on screen—so much so that she vows to marry him. After winning a beauty contest, she journeys from England to Hollywood, landing a job as a secretary for a reclusive agent who hatches a publicity stunt: transforming her into a South Seas princess with dyed hair and dark makeup. The story unfolds as Tina meets Nick, not as herself, but as the mysterious persona she's been cast as—blending dreams, disguise, and the uncertain path of fame. Art by Blas Gallego brings the glamorous, dreamlike world to life, capturing the era's romantic flair.
