In "Beyond Tomorrow," a haunting tale from Girls' Romances #78 (1961), Carol feels an eerie pull toward the legend of Mary Philippa, a ghost said to wait eternally on the shore for her lost love. When Carol falls for Eric, a sailor whose heart belongs to the sea, her growing fear deepens as a storm claims his boat and he fails to return. With Mike Sekowsky's art and Bernard Sachs' inks bringing the emotional weight to life, and John Romita's evocative cover capturing the story's melancholy mystery, this issue weaves romance and the supernatural into a quietly powerful tale.
