First Love Illustrated #77

A thoughtful young woman in a red jacket pauses with her finger to her lips, looking pensive while a cluster of admiring young men lingers in the background — it's the perfect visual question for that cover tagline: "Can a girl be too popular?" Al Avison's pencils and Joe Simon's inks give the scene a warm, expressive energy that captures the romantic uncertainty Harvey Comics did so well in 1957. First Love Illustrated #77 is a charming slice of mid-century romance comics, complete with the Comics Code seal and a ten-cent price that reflects the era perfectly.
