TRAMP DOCTOR "...the Flesh is Weak!"

Dr Ivar McCutchin faces his first crisis as a recovering alcoholic...

...and fails (a too-common occurrence in real-life)!
This never-reprinted tale from Dell's Linda Lark: Registered Nurse #3 (1962) featured both alcoholism and addictive narcotics, both of which were forbidden in newsstand comics after the Comics Code Authority was organized as a self-censorship board by the major comics publishers in 1954.
Dell, however, was not a member of that organization, since they had never published the type of horror comics that drew the public's ire!
As a result, they were able to handle topics like addiction, interracial romances, etc, that the "Big Guns" (DC/Atlas-Marvel/Harvey/etc.) didn't dare touch!

CoronaVirus Comics TRUE LOVE CONFESSIONS "Fool's Gold"

Why is it that most stories involving two medical personnel in love show the woman as a nurse?
And that she's in the profession only to find a doctor to marry?
This never-reprinted tale from Premier's True Love Confessions #8 (1955) features not one but two studly doctors for the nurse to choose from!
The story, illustrated by Hy Fleishman, also gives Lila a third guy (rich, older, but non-medical) to choose from!
But in the end, she opts for the poor, but dedicated, Roc!

What Do LOVE PROBLEMS & ADVICE ILLUSTRATED and PRIVATE LIVES AND LOVES OF GIRLS IN WHITE Have in Common?

In both cases, the cover art had nothing to so with the stories inside!
The art by Lee Elias for McCombs' Love Problems and Advice Illustrated #1 (1949) was a generic piece and none of the characters nor the situation shown appeared in any of the book's tales!
Note: Harvey Comics purchased McCombs' inventory when the company went out of business in 1950, and continued the Love Problems comic for 42 more issues until 1957.
And here's the weirdest thing...
...the cover art was re-used for Harvey's Private Lives and Loves of Girls in White, which appeared as part of Harvey's Comic Hits anthology (#58 in 1952), an issue about romances involving doctors and nurses!
BTW, it still didn't have anything to do with any of the stories in the book!
