Sisters in Medicine SUE AND SALLY SMITH: FLYING NURSES "No Serum for Greed"

Though the title characters usually worked together...
...both Sue and Sally also had solo globe-trotting adventures!
The fraternal-twin Smith sisters worked for "Emergency Corps", a Doctors Without Borders-type organization that sent medical personnel to hot spots all over the world.
From forest fires to typhus outbreaks, the Flying Nurses could handle it all, as this never-reprinted story by writer Joe Gill, penciler Joe Sinnott and inker Vince Colletta from Charlton's Sue and Sally Smith: Flying Nurses #48 (1962) proves!

Notes: #48 was the duo's first issue!
Before that, the comic was My Secret Life, but after the duo debuted in #47...

...the book was renamed for them!
No mention of a psychic link the two shared in this debut tale was ever made again...which is a shame, because it really would have come in handy for them in later stories...at least until the book was cancelled with #54!

DR ANTHONY KING: HOLLYWOOD LOVE DOCTOR "Too Fat for Love!"

Well, when he received his own comic, it inspired at least one publisher to put out an imitator!
Note that, though the cover reads "Hollywood Love Doctor", the feature itself is called "Hollywood Psychiatrist"!
(Perhaps the publisher thought putting "psychiatrist" on the cover would scare away readers!)
This never-reprinted tale of body-shaming from Toby's Dr Anthony King: Hollywood Love Doctor #1 (1952) was illustrated by Myron Fass.
The writer's name is lost to the mists of time.
