STRANGE CONFESSIONS "I Was an Artist's Model"

Why do some women fall for arrogant, dominant men?
Perhaps this tale can offer an answer...
Illustrated by George Olesen, this never-reprinted tale from Ziff-Davis' Strange Confessions #4 (1952) has a semi-50 Shades of Grey vibe, but the heroine manages to overcome the "temptation" of the overly-controlling guy.
BTW, the writer is, mercifully for him or her, unknown, but might well be the Ziff-Davis comics line's editor, Jerry (Superman) Siegel!
Next week:
The Return of Reach for Happiness...
You'll Cry Your Eyes Out if You Miss It!
(Things are really getting juicy...)

YOUNG ROMANCE "Man-Hater"

WIth the GOP Presidential Convention in full swing...
...let's look at what Repugs (and immature boys) think women are like and what it takes to "tame" them!
Written and penciled by Jack Kirby and inked by Kirby and Joe Simon, this never-reprinted tale from Prize's Young Romance #3 (1948) is almost a spoof of the "I'll trick the superior (more intelligent/athletic) woman into loving me" storyline that actually was popular in B-movies of the period!
Next Week...
We don't know yet what we'll present!
But, we can guarantee that...
You'll Cry Your Eyes Out if You Miss It!
(Yeah, we say that a lot...but it's true!)
And now a word from out sponsor...
