A wonderful effort by Jack Sparling with red-hot "good girl" action. And remarkably unmolested by the Comics Code. I think it's one of Sparling's best romance stories.

Well, luckily no Comics Code in 1952 :-)

A lot of pre-Code Harvey art got censored for post-Code reprints, but this one didn't - so, yay!

Well, don't I know it! Half of my Harvey romance collection has been just about ruined by Code changes, most notorably John Sink and Bob Powell, but even Warren Kremer.

Recently I read an article that had an interview which revealed that young Ken Selig was the person tasked with inking over any and all cleavage or other offending material in pre-Code Harvey art that was planned to be used in reprints..
