From Romeo & Juliet...to West Side Story (Twice)...to Best Side Story

With the remake of West Side Story opening tomorrow...
...we wondered...

What if the Silver Age Doctor Strange and Wonder Woman fell in love, just like Tony and Maria?
(After all, they were from two feuding "gangs", DC and Marvel)
We probably would've ended up with a serious version of this titanic tale...

Written by Roy Thomas and illustrated by Tom Sutton, this comic company crossover classic was included in Marvel's Not Brand Echh! #6 (1968)...

...a romance-oriented issue that also included a look at how a Human Scorch (Human Torch)/Gristle (Crystal) marriage would work out, and Spidey-Man (do I have to tell ya?) marrying the unlikeliest character of all!
Spoiler Alert: Its' The Wasp!

Holiday Reading Room CAPTAIN MARVEL ADVENTURES "Plot Against Christmas"

He's not a captain in the Kree starfleet (or his son) or the other, female, Human/Kree Captain...
This is the original guy, the one who yelled "SHAZAM!", starring in a Christmas tale about a miser who...well read it for yourself...
This Yultide tale from Fawcett's Captain Marvel Adventures #42 (1945) was illustrated by Pete Costanza with touchups by C C Beck.
The writer, who owed a great deal to Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol", is unknown.
