Girls' Love Stories #118

Four young women and a sharp-dressed young man fill this April 1966 cover in a swirl of jealousy and indecision — a blonde in red caught between loyalty and deception while her friends look on with knowing eyes. The cover's speech bubbles lay out the dilemma perfectly: Kelly is hiding a steady boyfriend to make someone named Joey jealous, and now Steve is getting closer to the truth. With four complete romance stories inside — including the featured "My Secret Love!" — Girls' Love Stories #118 delivers exactly the kind of heartfelt, tangled drama the series promises, brought to life on the cover by the pencils of Werner Roth and inks of Bernard Sachs.
