Romantic Marriage #17
Romantic Marriage #17 (1952) This issue contains multiple stories exploring marital conflicts and reconciliation. The lead story concerns a wife whose jealousy and interference in her husband Dan's life drives him to leave her; after separation, she eventually recognizes her mistakes and the couple reconciles. A second story, "Home Coming," depicts a disabled soldier returning from war who initially refuses to see his wife due to shame over his injury, but ultimately accepts her love and support as he adjusts to civilian life. Additional stories titled "Heartbreak Is The Croupier" and "Fate Spins the Wheel" are also featured in the anthology format typical of romance comics of the era.
