A lot of these old comics usually don’t have credits as to writers and artists. This one is signed by Ogden Whitney<\/strong><\/a> who created The Skyman<\/strong><\/em> and Herbie<\/strong><\/em> back in the Golden Age of Comics.<\/p>\n

This is another of the four stories within Heart Throbs<\/strong><\/em> No.46 published in 1956. Three of the four stories featured distraught, tear-stained heroines within the first panel of the story.<\/p>\n
