Falling in Love #52

DC's Falling in Love #52 (August 1962) captures the sting of romantic rivalry in a single charged moment: a dark-haired young woman clutches a letter with a knowing smile, while a teary red-haired woman beside her nervously shreds what appears to be her own correspondence — the cover copy making the tension unmistakable: "Oh? The letter he sent ME said he'd be back soon… REAL soon!" Cover art by John Romita brings real emotional nuance to these two figures, their contrasting expressions telling a story all on their own. Inside, Bill Draut's artwork carries the romantic drama with the featured story "A Letter from Marty!" alongside "The One I Loved" — a satisfying double dose of 1962 heartache.
