Girls' Love Stories #86

DC's Girls' Love Stories #86 (May 1962) captures a charged moment right on its cover: a red-haired young woman leans in a doorway, her expression downcast, while a dark-haired man gestures toward her and a third figure watches from the foreground — the speech bubble making her feelings unmistakably clear: "There's nothing to keep me!" John Romita's cover work gives the scene real emotional weight, drawing you into the tension between these three characters before you've even turned a page. With the featured story "A Kiss Good-Bye" and interior art by Arthur Peddy, this issue delivers the bittersweet romantic drama that made Girls' Love Stories such a compelling corner of DC's 1962 lineup.
