Girls' Love Stories #104

In "The Dark in My Heart!", April clings to a promise made to her dying mother—her dream of making it in Hollywood finally within reach after winning a contest. But the path to stardom proves far harder than she imagined, testing her resolve in ways she never expected. Written by Robert Kanigher and illustrated by Bob Oksner, with inks and letters by Oksner and Joe Letterese, this 1964 DC story captures the quiet intensity of ambition and heartbreak. The cover, also by Bob Oksner, perfectly frames her determined gaze against a backdrop of glittering, distant dreams.
