LINDA LARK: REGISTERED NURSE "The Play's the Thing!"

A Hospitalized Actress' Flirtations are Rejected by Dr Blasko!

And when the actress' significant other (who's also her co-star in a currently-running play) shows up, and flirts with Nurse Linda Lark, the actress dumps him and plots revenge against Lark...who's currently dating Dr Blasko!

The actress, Joyce Wilson, sends two tickets for tonight's performance of her play to Lark (whose date that night with Blasko is mysteriously cancelled)!

These events are all linked, as we shall soon see...

So Linda's not going home to Mommy!

She's going somewhere with rich physician Dr Mayne, who sees an opporutinity to lure her away from Dr Blasko!

Can this get any more soap opera-ish?

Judge for yourself, when we rejoin our carousing cast...Next Friday!

LINDA LARK: REGISTERED NURSE "Doctor Drama"

We're returning to the story of Nurse Linda Lark...

...noting that, in the space of a single issue, she's gone from student nurse to registered nurse!
Talk about your "best and brightest"!

The Drama Continues Next Friday!

This never-reprinted issue of Dell's Linda Lark: Registered Nurse #2 (1962), scripted and laid-out by John Stanley and penciled/inked by John Tartaglione is actually a soap opera-esque storyline spread over four chapters!
So, instead of spreading it out over several months, we're going to run it in weekly installments!
What we'll do with the remaining issues, which follow this format is yet to be decided...

ROMANCES OF NURSE HELEN GRANT "You Cannot Marry!"

 A Year Ago, We Presented the First Chapter in This Medical Soap Opera One-Shot...

Nurse Helen Grant and Doctor Brian Clark are a team in the operating room...and on the dance floor!
Together, they solve problems both professional and personal...

A series about a totally-loyal, Lovestruck Nurse obsessed with a Handsome Young Doctor whom every female who walks through the Emergency Room doors lusts after!

Unlike Nurse Mary Robin who wavered in her loyalty to her Dr Love Object, eventually ending up with a different doctor, Nurse Grant seems determined to be by Doctor Clark's side...obviously as close as possible...until Death Do Them Part!
Was that the reason there wasn't an issue #2?
We'd have to ask plotter/editor Stan Lee, inker Vince Colletta, and the likely "ghost" penciler, Matt Baker, what they had in mind after this premiere issue of Atlas' Romances of Nurse Helen Grant #1 (1957).
But since they've all passed away, we'll never know!

ROMANCES OF NURSE HELEN GRANT "Unmasked Heart!"

Unlike Our Previous Nurse Soap Opera...

...the long-running Private Diary of Mary Robin R.N." this series ran only one issue!
We'll go into the likely reasons at the end of this story!

A series about a totally-loyal, lovestruck nurse obsessed with a Handsome Young Doctor whom every female who walks through the Emergency Room doors lusts after!

Unlike Nurse Mary Robin who wavered in her loyalty to her Dr Love Object, eventually ending up with a different doctor, Helen Grant seems determined to be by Dr Brian Clark's side...obviously as close as possible, until Death Do Them Part!
Was that the reason there wasn't an issue #2?

But since they've all passed away, we'll never know!

The Super-Hero Doctor/Nurse Duo!

Though the Marvel Cinematic Universe doesn't utilize it...

...one of the most soap opera-ish doctor-nurse romances took place in superhero comics!
We're doing a mini-blogathon featuring
how that relationship ended in the Silver Age in
True Love Comics Tales
and how an "imaginary story" (a tale not in continuity) introduced the concept of Jane Foster as Thor in
Heroines!
And Don't Miss...
Thor: Love and Thunder!
