The debut issue of Daring Love from Gillmor Magazines (a brand under the Stanley Morse operation) hit the stands sometime in the summer of 1953. The cover by Bernard Bailey is a nifty enough item, two healthy people hanging out in the hayloft mere moments from amorous activity probably sold a few copies. But that's not what makes this comic book important. What makes this comic book a humdinger is that it features Steve Ditko's first published comic book work.
Unless you count those fetish pieces he did in conjunction with his longtime studio partner Eric Stanton. Love is a many splendored thing indeed.
