Falling in Love #22

A beautifully bittersweet cover from DC's Falling in Love sets the emotional tone perfectly: a elegantly dressed young woman clutches a cup at what appears to be a wedding reception, her expression a portrait of quiet anguish as she watches a beaming groom and his radiant bride in the background. The cover teaser — "I drank a silent toast to his happiness — to all the happiness he couldn't find with me!" — says everything about the tender heartbreak waiting inside. Sy Barry's pencils and Bernard Sachs's inks give the scene a polished warmth that made DC's romance titles so compelling in 1958.
