Girls' Love Stories #96

DC's Girls' Love Stories #96 from 1963 captures the delicious tension of a crowded dance floor, where a sharp-dressed young man named Bruce stands at the center of a quietly charged social moment — one woman turning him down with a polite but firm "I already had a date," while another nearby thinks to herself, with barely concealed hurt, "Then I… I'm his s-second choice!?" John Romita's cover art handles the body language and expressions with real emotional nuance, making that swirl of balloons and party guests feel alive with unspoken feeling. The featured story, "The Sound of His Voice!," promises the kind of heartfelt romantic drama that made this series a warm, reliable companion for readers in 1963.
