Lance Arthurs

Handsome, charismatic jerk of a singer from the "My Hidden Heart!" story of romance comic book First Love Illustrated #39 (April 1954). He bewitches good-girl Ella and seduces her even though she's engaged to square Arnie.

Arthurs fronts a nameless band at the swanky Club Royale. He also has a gambling problem, and owes some mob types about three grand. He gets Ella to give him the money she and Arnie have saved for their marriage. But Arthurs turns up murdered the next day anyway and Ella is wanted for questioning by the police, threatening to ruin her relationship with Arnie. The police clears her, and they reconcile.
