Young Love PRIVATE DIARY OF MARY ROBIN, R.N. "All Men are Children!"

As of this issue (DC's Young Love #51 [1965]), Mary Robin loses the cover and two-part feature status!

Sometimes solving the puzzle of a pandemic is worse than the disease itself...
...as this never-reprinted tale set in the then-future year of 1976 from Atlas' Uncanny Tales #45 (1956) demonstrates!
It should be pointed out that the "common cold" virus, though known to mankind since 1600 BC, has never been known to affect any other, non-human, species!
