Before the Comics Code Authority Turned the Industry Upside Down in Late 1954...
...comics tended to tell more adult-oriented material since, except for the funny animal/humor books, they were aimed at the 15 to 21 (teen to young adult) audience!





Illustrated by Marty Elkin and scripted by an unknown scribe, this never-reprinted tale from Comic Media's Dear Lonely Hearts #7 (1954) reads like a typical adult soap opera of the era.
After the Code came into effect, even fairly innocuous tales like this were modified from their pre-Code version into almost-unreadable pap as shown HERE.
BTW, it's interesting to note the comic's hostess/narrator, Mildred Norton, is a dead ringer for Joan Crawford!
I don't believe it is mere coincidence!
