Falling in Love #27

A summer park setting crackles with romantic tension on this June 1959 entry in DC's Falling in Love series. The cover, penciled by Sy Barry and inked by Bernard Sachs, places a sharp-eyed dark-haired young woman front and center, pointedly urging a blond man to attend to the red-headed woman being consoled by another fellow in the background — her caption reading "Don't just stand there! — She's YOUR date, isn't she?" The "Double Date!" feature promised inside, alongside "Heart of No Return!," suggests a full lineup of the romantic complications and heartfelt drama that made this National Romance Group title such a satisfying ten-cent escape in 1959.
