Girls' Romances #69

Outside a soda shoppe, a young man in a white shirt declares "I'm going with her! I must…" as he stands between a blonde woman in green and a stylish brunette looking up at him from a convertible — while two onlookers watch the drama unfold in the background. This 1960 National Romance Group title captures that breathless, torn-heart tension that made Girls' Romances such a beloved series, with cover pencils by Tony Abruzzo and inks by John Romita bringing every charged glance to life. Featuring the story "One Moment of Bliss!" inside, issue #69 is a ten-cent slice of mid-century romantic storytelling at its most compelling.
