Girls' Romances #112

The split-panel cover of Girls' Romances #112 tells its own bittersweet story before you've read a single page — a dark-haired young woman playfully covers a blond young man's eyes in the first panel, only for the mood to shift in the second as he turns away in tears and she reaches out, the word balloons revealing a case of mistaken identity between two women named Vicki and Jean. Cover artist John Rosenberger brings a crisp, expressive line to the drama, capturing that particular 1965 DC romance sensibility where heartache and hope share the same breath. With the teaser "Give Me Back My Love!" blazing across the bottom, this issue — featuring the story "Too Much in Love?" with interior art by Werner Roth and Frank Bolle — promises the kind of emotionally charged storytelling that made DC's romance line such a compelling read.
