Millard in 1941 Startling (philsp) Suspect he also wrote the excellent short-lived series pictured, as subject, tone, and style all line up… one of my fave early-‘50s mini runs

I used to have Four Frightened Women. I wouldn't mind reading Twice Loved but haven't seen a copy around that was for sale in cheap reading format.

 

I have this one...

"My wedding night was a nightmare of honeymoon horror."

 

It certainly doesn't appear to be going well judging by the picture.

 

That sure looks like Baker art.
