Falling in Love #103

Bathed in warm sunset hues, this November 1968 DC romance entry captures a young woman — tears streaming down her face — held close by a smiling man, while a sports car sits parked on the road behind them. His declaration, "Baby — nothing like you has ever happened to me before!" is met with her heartbreaking inner thought: "Oh, darling, darling… last night you said the same thing to someone else!" Cover pencils by Ric Estrada and inks by Dick Giordano give the scene a striking purple-toned intimacy that makes the emotional tension hit all the harder. With interior work from John Rosenberger and lettering by Ray Holloway, Falling in Love #103 delivers the kind of bittersweet romantic drama that made DC's romance line so compelling in 1968.
