Girls' Romances #148

A picnic scene turned emotionally charged opens this April 1970 issue from DC, with Nick Cardy's cover art capturing a young man leaning over a dark-haired woman reclining on a blanket — his declaration of love met with her pointed, skeptical thought: "Sure you do… when nobody else is around!" The tension between sweet words and private doubt sets a perfectly bittersweet tone for a title story called "I Won't Fall in Love!!" Cardy's clean linework and warm color palette make this a genuinely appealing snapshot of early-'70s romance comics at their most dramatically relatable.
