Girls' Love Stories #116

A midwinter 1966 slice of heartache from DC's beloved romance line, this issue drops readers right into a painfully relatable moment — a stylish blonde in a vivid pink coat walks through a crowd, visibly mortified as onlookers whisper and stare, her thought bubble capturing that sinking feeling: "They're all laughing at me." Tony Abruzzo's cover pencils bring real emotional nuance to the scene, with the surrounding figures rendered with just enough cool detachment to make the heroine's vulnerability feel genuinely sting. Inside, Frank Giacoia and Bernard Sachs deliver the artwork for stories including "Too Good to Be True" and "Love Was Like This," making this a rich anthology of the romantic joys and stumbles that made Girls' Love Stories such a compelling read.
