Tales Twice-Told YOUNG DOCTORS "Star Patient"

What Do You Do When the Two Hottest Doctors on TV are Licensed to Another Comics Publisher?
Why, you put out a book about two doctors who look and sound just like them, of course!

Dr Kildare...excuse me, Dr Landon, treats his latest beautiful female patient...
Written by Joe Gil, inked by Vince Colletta, and penciled by someone whose name is, sadly, lost to the mists of time, this (sort of) never-repinted tale from Charlton's Young Doctors #3 (1963) was designed to lure unwary Ben Casey and/or Dr Kildare fans into buying what appears to be a team-up of the two incredibly-popular TV medicos!
It lasted six issues, after which Drs Landon & Burke disappeared from comics forever!
Ha!
Fooled You!
There's a reason this entry is classified "Twice Told-Tales", and you'll find out why...tomorrow!
