This Last Kiss image is a composite from two pieces of comic art (both redrawn by Diego Jourdan Pereira) that I put together with Photoshop. Frankly, I’m really pleased at how it turned out. (See below for the original 1950’s comic art.)
Art by Bill Ward from the story “I Danced with Heartbreak” in DIARY LOVES #9, 1951.
Artist unknown. From the story “Censored” in ALL TRUE ROMANCE #2, 1951.

I really enjoy your work. Since many of these comics were being published when I was born, its a trip back in time for me.
