Darling Love #5
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis June/July 1950 issue of Darling Love delivers the heartfelt romance the series promised, with a cover featuring a brooding young man gently tilting a dark-haired woman's chin toward him — a quietly tender moment that perfectly captures the "My Heartache of Hidden Love" story headlined at the bottom. At just ten cents for 52 pages, readers were getting remarkable value, with a packed lineup of stories including "I Want My Soldier Boy," "I Was Money Mad," and "I Was a Broken-Date Girl," plus lifestyle columns on etiquette, cooking, and handwriting. It's a warm snapshot of postwar romance comics at their most earnest and endearing.

Rosemary grows up in poverty and vows to be rich some day. Working as a switchboard operator, she dates fellow worker Tom. Tom proposes marriage and she turns him down because he’s too poor. Rosemary invests her savings in a trip to Sun Valley to find a rich husband. She romances Jacques, pretending to be rich herself, and he proposes. Rosemary discovers she actually loves him and decides to confess all, but Jacques beats her to it: his name is Jack and he’s a fortune-hunter looking for a rich wife. Rosemary and Jack see the irony and will marry for love, not money.
