pmpknface Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 I think it's Blue Ribbon #2. Found it! Yeah, Blue Ribbon Vol. #2, #2. From what I can see it's a 3 issue run with #'s 1 & 3 being Heckle & Jeckle covers?!?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They still use my scan anyway. Edited August 16, 2012 by BB-Gun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I can see it's a 3 issue run with #'s 1 & 3 being Heckle & Jeckle covers?!?!? GCD lists it as 6 issues, 3 of which are romance books LINK The Diary Secrets run is one of the most convoluted and confusing in comic history. This is about the simplest way I've found to outline the lineage of the run: Blue Ribbon #2 is the first issue of the series that would eventually become Diary Secrets. It's the first comic to bear that title. Blue Ribbon #4 (titled Teen-Age Diary Secrets) is DS #2, and Blue Ribbon #5 (also titled TADS) is DS #3. Then, the series officially titled Teen-Age Diary Secrets begins, correctly numbered #4. The following issue has no number, and no indicia, but is TADS #5. The numbering is picked up again with #6, and the series runs through issue #9. (#7 and #9 are digest sized issues, with identical contents, but different covers.) Finally, the series officially titled Diary Secrets begins with issue #10, and runs through #30. (With the exception of issues 21, 22, and 23, all of the stories in Diary Secrets #10 through #30 were reprinted from other St. John titles, and from earlier Ziff-Davis romance titles. Only the covers were new.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right, there was that one-shot, no number, squarebound giant called "Diary Secrets" (not to be confused with Giant Comics Editions #12, which also used "Diary Secrets" as it's logo). But that was a rebound edition, made up of randomly selected back issues from a variety of different romance titles. It wasn't really part of the DS run.
