Falling in Love #47

The cover of Falling in Love #47 sets up a deliciously tense party scene, rendered in John Romita's clean, expressive linework: a young man in a white tuxedo stands caught between two women — one in a strapless red gown, the other in a grey dress — as a pointed confrontation plays out in speech bubbles over whether he truly invited the dark-haired beauty without telling anyone. The teaser for "A Threat of Heartbreak!" promises exactly the kind of emotional complexity that made DC's National Romance Group titles so compelling to readers in 1961. With interior art by Mike Sekowsky and Bernard Sachs, this ten-cent issue delivers the heartfelt drama that kept Falling in Love a reliable favorite on the spinner rack.
