Girls' Romances #25

The Snow King Lodge sleigh is the perfect setting for heartache in this 1954 installment of DC's Girls' Romances — a red-haired young woman in a pink jacket grips the reins up front, her expression troubled, while a couple cozies up together in the seat behind her. The cover teaser asks pointedly, "Was Roger deliberately tormenting me when he made me a witness to his new romance?" — promising the kind of emotionally charged drama that made this series a staple of mid-century romance comics. If relatable stories of longing and complicated feelings are your thing, issue #25 delivers that winter chill both literally and figuratively.
