Falling in Love #73

Two young women — brunette Janie in a yellow top and blonde Lisa in a pink floral blouse — stand back to back on this evocative 1965 DC romance cover, each lost in anxious thought about a man named Peter whose marriage proposal has put their friendship in jeopardy. Gene Colan's cover art captures that emotional tension beautifully, the purple background amplifying the bittersweet mood as their thought balloons reveal they're each worried about hurting the other. Promised as "a searing tale of two hearts in conflict," Falling in Love #73 is a lovely snapshot of DC's romance line at its most emotionally charged, with interiors by Mike Sekowsky and Frank Giacoia rounding out the package.
