Girls' Love Stories #62

A bride in full white gown and veil clutches her bouquet and weeps at the doorway, unable to take that final walk toward the tuxedoed groom waiting at the garden altar — while seated guests look on, blissfully unaware of her anguish. The cover caption for "Second Chance for Love!" frames a delicious tangle of old feelings and new circumstances, and Tony Abruzzo's pencils (inked by Bernard Sachs) give the heroine's tear-streaked face a remarkably expressive vulnerability that defines DC romance art at its 1959 best. Girls' Love Stories #62 is a ten-cent slice of heartfelt drama that reminds you why this series kept readers hooked issue after issue.
