Valentine's Day in the Emergency Room SOUL LOVE "Dedicated Nurse"

This story is unique because it is presented from scans of the hand-drawn art...
...from Jack (King) Kirby's proposed 1970s b/w magazine Soul Love!
We would have presented pages from the printed comic/magazine the way we usually do...except it wasn't published...until very recently!
(We'll explain below!)
NSFW / NSFS note...it is somewhat "politically incorrect"...but not for the reason you might think!
(Hey, look! A "Kirby Quote"!)
You'll note pages 5 and 6 aren't as "clean" as the other pages, which are scanned from the actual original art!
They're scanned from photocopies, which are the only versions I could acquire, but they're legible enough to "fill out" the tale!
(Oh, man! More "Kirby Quotes"!)
Written/penciled/edited by Jack Kirby and inked by Vince Colletta, the story takes the typical attitude of the period about overweight women, though Aleda's not actually obese.
(In fact, I was involved with a woman who had a similar body type, which I found extremely-appealing!)

You can read about the Soul Love magazine project by clicking HERE.
The Soul Love tales were finally published as a full-color comic book-style insert in 2020's Dingbat Love hardcover book, which we conveniently linked-to below!
Thanks to Kracalactaka for the scans.

YOUNG ROMANCE "Full Hands - Empty Heart!" Part 1

Since it's both Black History Month and almost Valentines Day...
..we thought we'd present a tale about a Black nurse who becomes romantically-involved with a White doctor!
Note: On some pages Phyllis' skin is gray and on some it's brown.
That's because on the pages showing her as gray, the color separators used the wrong combination of yellow, red (magenta) and blue (cyan) screens.
To find out what happens next...
for the heart-rending conclusion as well as some background about the writer of the tale!

Marvel Comics, The American Cancer Society and the Story So Nice, They Told it Twice!

Actually, it wasn't a "nice" tale, but we wanted an alliterative title... In 1982, Marvel and the American Cancer Society  c...
