Brides in Love #5

A farewell embrace at a train station sets the emotional tone for this 1957 Charlton romance issue, as a young woman in an orange sweater clings to a uniformed soldier — his sergeant's stripes visible on his sleeve — while a departure board reads 3:17 and his military cap rests nearby, waiting. Dick Giordano's cover art captures that bittersweet pull between love and duty with quiet, tender precision. Inside, writer Joe Gill and artist Don Perlin bring you "A Good Wife" and more of the "emotional dramas you will never forget" promised right on the cover.
