Girls' Romances #63

From DC's National Romance Group, this October 1959 installment of Girls' Romances delivers the emotional intensity the series does so well — cover art by Sy Barry and Bernard Sachs puts a tense confrontation front and center, as a young blonde woman grabs the arm of an agitated young man mid-gesture, an almost electric flash of tension crackling between them against a vivid red city backdrop. The note on his arm reading "JUL 1 5 P.M." hints at secrets and broken promises, and the featured story "Love in Disguise" promises that hearts here are rarely what they seem. Werner Roth brings his sure hand to the interior with "The Day I Met You!," rounding out a issue that captures 1959 romance comics at their most dramatically charged.
