John Prentice - True Bride's Experiences #16 (Harvey, 1956). John Prentice details this story of a young bride's awakening to the wisdom that, in marriage, "love is more important than money." Prentice excels at the illustrational approach perfected by Alex Raymond for his Rip Kirby comic strip. The image area of each page measures 12" x 18". The first page of the story was drawn on illustration board, while the others were drawn on bristol paper.
