LINDA LARK: STUDENT NURSE "Remember My Name!"

You Met John Stanley's Only Medical Creation, Linda Lark HERE...

...now let's see how she's adjusting to life as a student nurse!

Will Dr Blasko think about more than just Nurse Linda's name?

Only writer/layout artist John Stanley and penciler/inker John Tartaglione (along with the too-few readers who read the series) know what happens after this never-reprinted story from Dell's Linda Lark: Student Nurse #1 (1961).
Eventually, you will know, as well!
Note: Linda's not desperately-needy (and horny) like Nurse Helen Grant or neurotic (and horny) like Mary Robin R.N. and most other extremely horny comic book nurses!

So, the answer will surprise you!

Best of Medical Comics & Stories DR PAT: The First Female Doctor to Have Her Own Comic Series!

Debuting in DC's Sensation Comics #94 (1949)...

...Dr Pat was a radical concept for the era, an independent female doctor equal to any male MD, and not obsessed with romance!

In fact, romance was usually the last thing on her mind!

She was too busy battling crime...

...Commies...

...even rampaging robots!

And when she did get involved in romantic situations, it was usually to assist someone else!

Created as part of the rebooting of Wonder Woman's original home, Sensation Comics into an all-female series book!
She lasted longer than any of the other secondary features including Romance: Inc, Headline Heroines, Astra: Girl of the Future, and Beautiful, But Not Dumb!, 
When Sensation Comics was rebooted again, this time with an entirely-new line-up in #107 (1952), Dr Pat and Wonder Woman both lost their strips...though Princess Diana continued in her own book!
Except for a couple of reprints in the back of Superman's Girl Friend: Lois Lane, almost the entire comics world forgot all about Dr Pat!
But we didn't!
In fact, she was our very first post, and our first ongoing series!
So, when you have a moment, check her her out!

She's a bit of comics history who doesn't deserve to be forgotten!

DOCTOR DAN DAZZLER "I Can't Breathe"

Here's Dr Dazzler's Final Improvised Medical Miracle...

...illustrated by returning artist Gene Colan!


It's odd that this never-reprinted story from Dell's Ben Casey #8 (1963-4) and the previous Dr Dan Dazzler tale illustrated by Gene Colan (shown HERE) feature the same basic plot...Dr Dan desperately needs rest, but circumstances keep him on his feet, heloping people!

CONFESSIONS OF THE LOVELORN "Man in My Past!"

Warning: the story under this Ken Bald-illustrated cover is about an incurable disease...

...but it's not the incurable disease you'll think it is after the first few pages!

So he's not cured, but in remission, though the doctor says the operation was a "complete success"!

Written by editor Richard E Hughes and illustrated by Howard Alexander, this never-reprinted tale from ACG's Confessions of the LoveLorn #57 (1955) tries to make Alan honorable, even noble!

But instead of being honest with his wife, he all-but-abandoned her and then returned years later expecting her to take him back!
