Disclose Notes: This title, and its companion Darling Romance, appear to have been joint ventures between Archie Comics and Columbia Publications, both of which were owned by Maurice Coyne and Louis Silberkleit. Park was the editor on several of Columbia's romance-based pulp titles. The lack of any documentation for "Harriet Small" and later statements of ownership for Darling Love and Romance indicating Shorten as editor suggest that "Harriet Small" was a pseudonym, taking the feminine form of "Harry" and playing on the "Short" in "Shorten" with the synonym "Small." "Sorul" is "Luros" spelled backwards; Milton Luros was the art director for Columbia Publications at the time.

On sale date as listed in the Catalog of Copyright Entries, Periodicals, July-December 1949, page 184, registration number B213638.
