Who drew this romance cover?

Guess the artist time again. The GCD has no cover artist info listed.

SECRET HEARTS # 152

Don Heck. Who had just moved over to DC in this time frame.

I have another question about this issue. Inside is a story drawn by John Romita called "The Day I Fell In Love"

Neither Mike's (Truly) Amazing DC Database, nor the GCD tag it as being a reprint. Does anyone have access to this comic? Does the artwork look contemporary with John's work at the time or is it perhaps (my suspicions) an inventory story done years earlier and left unpublished until 1971.

Yeah--the women's eyebrows are the giveaway here.

...and the poses, and the expressions, and the layout and the handling of folds in the clothes, and the wonderfully bold to thin lines.

'tis a very effective cover

The GDC does note that the Romita story has retouched hairdos, so I 'd say it was a reprint given the Windy and Willy treatment.

And Woody and Wally?

That was my other think, that it was a reprint, but I couldn't find an earlier entry on GCD nor Mike's (still amazing) site for it. Perhaps they changed the title as well.

It looks like the father-dater from SECRET HEARTS 152 (link in my post that starts this thread), was also involved with hippies at another comics company, in this Heck cover:

Duh. Why didn't I see that? This cover screamed Marvel to me, yet I kept thinking it was some impossible cross of J. Buscema and Romita.
