Girls' Love Stories #77

Few romance comics capture the sting of rivalry quite like this March 1961 entry in DC's Girls' Love Stories. John Romita's cover art pulls you straight into the tension: a dark-haired young man leans in close to a redhead whispering "Please kiss me — please…?" while a sharp-eyed woman in a striking red outfit and turban watches from just steps away, her thought bubble cutting to the heart of the drama — "My sister doesn't realize she's taking him away from me — or does she?" With four complete romance stories promised inside, including "Remember This!", this is a fine example of the heartfelt, emotionally charged storytelling that made DC's romance line so compelling in the early 1960s.
