Number 1915: Everybody’s got a hungry heart

Unlike what Bruce Springsteen sings, maybe not everybody has a hungry heart...but certainly our heroine, Wilma, has that condition. And for Wilma, raised by a hermit-dad in Vermont, without neighbors, friends, or lovers, the only thing that will satisfy Wilma’s heart’s appetite is the love of a man.

“Hungry Heart” from Lovelorn #5 (1950) goes from the story of a naïve young woman going through a couple of gold-digging cads while looking for true love, to a story that is reminiscent of Titanic. Luckily for us, with a much happier ending.
