Girls' Romances #49

A young woman bundled in a bright red coat stands alone in the snow, snowflakes dusting her dark hair, her expression caught somewhere between longing and heartbreak — while visions of a couple nearly kissing and a sun-soaked beach scene with a man and woman holding hands swirl around her. The cover caption says it all: "Love is a Summer's Dream!" This 1958 DC romance title delivers exactly the kind of emotionally charged storytelling its tagline promises — "Love Stories That Could Happen to You!" — with Bernard Sachs's inking giving every tender and tearful moment a crisp, expressive weight.
