Girls' Romances #71

A beach setting crackles with emotional tension on John Romita's cover for this 1960 DC romance title, where a dark-haired young man confronts a red-haired woman with a pointed finger and the charged words, "You know you still love him — say it!" — while a confident blond man in a red sweater looks on from the foreground. The triangle of longing and confrontation perfectly captures the bittersweet heart of Girls' Romances, and the promise of the interior story "If Love Is Blind" only deepens the intrigue. Interior art by Mike Sekowsky and Bernard Sachs rounds out what is a genuinely evocative slice of early-'60s romance comics.
