History:

(My Love II#1/1 (fb) - BTS) - Linda Starr was reliant on her physical beauty to gain the affections of various men.

(My Love II#1/1) - Attending a holiday singles resort, the self-confident Starr was the center of attention, instantly gaining the attention of fellow flirty guest Doug Lewis. While preparing for her first date with Lewis, she mocked two single women nearby who were not as conventionally beautiful as her. Starr and Lewis spent almost a whole week enjoying each other's company. While charmed by her looks, he didn't like her making fun of other female guests. She was quickly falling in love with him, but at a sunset date, Lewis told her he didn't want anything serious with her and wouldn't spend more time with her. Heartbroken, she decided to leave the resort. While waiting for the taxi, she saw Lewis with a woman she had earlier mocked, but no words were said.

Comments: Created by uncredited writer, John Romita (pencils/inks).

comics.org lists the writer to likely be Stan Lee.

These romance stories often had the flavor of the time in which they were written, and nothing else to tie them into Marvel's sliding timescale. As such, it's likely that the stories took place at the time of publication rather than being part of the sliding timescale.

Doug Lewis

Doug Lewis was a single man staying at the same singles resort as Linda Starr. He was instantly attracted to her beauty and the two spent almost a whole week together, but ultimately found her too shallow. He broke Starr's heart when he chose to instead get serious romantically with another woman whom Starr had ridiculed earlier.
