Girls' Love Stories #121

A snapshot of mid-1960s romantic heartbreak, this DC romance title captures the sting of vulnerability right on its cover: a sharp-dressed young man coolly delivers his brush-off while a dark-haired young woman in a pink floral top realizes, with wide-eyed dismay, that saying "I love you" has cost her yet again. The cover's teaser — "Never Tell a Man You Love Him!" — frames the emotional dilemma with the earnest urgency that made DC's romance line resonate so strongly with readers in 1966, with Tony Abruzzo's cover pencils bringing both characters to vivid, expressive life. Inside, John Rosenberger's art carries the drama forward in "A Marriage without Love!" — one of those real-life stories the series promised to deliver straight from the heart.
