Young Romance #163

Young Romance #163 (On Sale: October 9, 1969) has a cover by Nick Cardy. This is pretty much the last decent cover this book will have as starting next issue Vince Colletta begins a long streak of butchering cover inks.

We begin with "Next Door to Love" drawn by Alex Toth and Ric Dano. I don't know anything about this Ric Dano guy, except that he would only ink three stories for DC and this is the first of them and that even without looking at the work I would bet this is a pen name for Dick Giordano. Next is "Blind Love" penciled by John Rosenberger. We end with "My Father, My Love" drawn by Ric Estrada and Vince Colletta. I didn't know DC was doing incest stories back then.

Young Romance #154

Young Romance #154 (On Sale: April 9, 1968) has a cover that looks to me like it is inked by Dick Giordano. In fact, Dick has confirmed that he also penciled the cover, most likely from a layout by Joe Orlando. Speaking of new editor Joe Orlando, he has given the book a new logo.
