Girls' Romances #152

A young woman in a swirling patterned dress reaches desperately up toward a man's hand, a Taurus horoscope book lying open on the floor beside her — it's a wonderfully charged image that sets up the featured story, "Horoscope, Don't Fool with My Heart!" Her speech bubble pleads, "You must forgive me even if I did wrong! …My horoscope said it was the right thing to do!" — capturing that very 1970 blend of astrology craze and romantic heartache that made Girls' Romances such a compelling read. Cover pencils by Ric Estrada and inks by Vince Colletta give the scene a fluid, expressive warmth, and the bonus promise of the "bittersweet story" Cry, Funny Girl, Cry makes this issue a satisfying double helping of emotional drama.
