Notes: A short signed story by Hartley and Lee. At this point in his career Al Hartley was getting
more and more formalized in his romance stories. For instance, when he started drawing
cheekbones as two diagonal lines, he never stopped doing that. Here he works in a totally
different style to illustrate another one-joke story by Stan Lee. I'd say he used a different
inker if everything wouldn't have been so weird about it. - Ger A.
