Girls' Love Stories #41

A young blonde woman leans pensively against a wooden fence in the foreground, her thought bubble reading "H-He thinks I'm only a child… too young to fall in love! But he's wrong — so wrong!" while in the background a young man kneels attentively beside a dark-haired woman in a pink dress, spring blossoms framing the rural scene. Tony Abruzzo's cover pencils capture that particular mid-1950s romantic tension with real delicacy — the longing, the hurt, the quiet determination all right there on her face. With the promise of "All New! True to Life!" stories including "One Wish for Love," this June 1956 issue of Girls' Love Stories delivers the heartfelt drama the series did so well.
