Girls' Love Stories #47

Girls' Love Stories #47 brings the romantic tension of 1957 to vivid life, with cover art penciled by Mike Sekowsky and inked by Joe Giella. The cover captures a tearful young woman in a flowing white gown seated on a staircase, while a man in a blue suit leans toward her urgently, his speech bubble pleading, "Joanie…Joanie…you've got to forget him! He'd only break your heart!" — a third figure visible in the background through a doorway adds an intriguing extra layer to the drama. Promising "all new, true to life" stories including "Sleeping Heart," this issue is a genuine snapshot of mid-century romance comics at their emotionally charged best.
