Girls' Love Stories #127

A candlelit dinner becomes a triangle of tension in this May 1967 DC romance gem, as a red-haired young woman clutching a wine glass watches uncertainly while a dark-haired woman in a bold ensemble shakes hands with the man named Tony — her expression cool, the cover tagline insisting "He Couldn't Be True to Me!" Jack Sparling's cover art captures that delicious romantic anxiety with sharp, stylish linework perfectly suited to the era. Interior artist Jay Scott Pike brings the same emotional charge to "Sweet Mystery of Love," making this a satisfying slice of 1960s romance comics at their most dramatically charged.
