Falling in Love #62

A beachside moment charged with heartache takes center stage on this October 1963 DC romance issue, with cover art by John Romita showing a tearful blonde woman resting beside a young man on the sand — her stammered denial ("B-But I…I've never b-been here before…") hanging in the air against crashing waves. The tension between his tender reminder and her flustered response captures exactly the emotional pull that made DC's romance line so compelling in the early '60s. Featuring the story "Second Love," this issue of Falling in Love delivers the kind of heartfelt drama that kept readers coming back month after month.
