Girls' Romances #24
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeFew comics capture the sting of heartbreak quite like this January 1953 issue of Girls' Romances, where the cover — inked by Bernard Sachs — tells a story all on its own. A young woman in a yellow dress stands behind a flower shop counter, visibly shaken as she watches a man in a blue suit tenderly embrace another woman among the blossoms. The caption says it all: "I refused to accept the bitter thought that Brian didn't return my love — until he walked into my shop and ordered flowers for someone else!" — a gut-punch setup that promises the kind of emotionally honest storytelling DC's romance line delivered so well in 1953.
