Girls' Love Stories #103

A red-haired woman dominates this 1964 DC romance cover, her expression caught somewhere between longing and frustration as a speech bubble confesses to Tom that he's turned her plans "topsy-turvy." In the foreground, a dark-haired man shares a close moment with a blonde woman while a suited figure looks on in the background — a triangle of competing emotions rendered with real elegance by penciler John Romita and inkers Joe Giella and Bernard Sachs. Featuring the story "Suddenly Everything Stopped" and the cover feature "Twist of Fate!," this issue captures the bittersweet push-and-pull that made Girls' Love Stories such a compelling read.
