Disclose Notes: This was a typical "bad girl" turns good story. When the Comics Code clamped down on Harvey's love stories, they changed the title of this story from "They Call Me Bad" to "Love Can't Be Bad!". There are also several edited portions of the art to comply with Comics Code mandated changes.
