Girls' Romances #137

That cover by Dick Giordano says everything with heartbreaking economy — a dark-haired young woman, tears streaking her cheek, pressed close to a man while pleading, "Oh, darling, darling… can't you even pretend that you love me?" It's a quietly devastating image that captures the emotional core DC's romance line did so well in 1968. The cover tagline — "What happens when a girl falls in love with… The Wrong Boy!" — sets the stage for a story written by Jack Miller with interior art by Tony Abruzzo that promises all the longing and complicated feelings fans of Girls' Romances adored.
