Girls' Romances #83

DC's Girls' Romances #83 from 1962 delivers an immediately gripping love triangle, with cover art by John Romita putting the tension right in your face: a self-assured man in a gray suit stands beside a young redhead in green who introduces him as her fiancé, only to be met by a confident older woman in pink who coolly fires back, "Oh? Has he proposed to you, too?" The knowing smirk on that second woman's face says everything, and the awkward glance shared between the other two speaks volumes. Featuring the story "Proposal of Heartbreak," this issue captures early '60s romance comics at their most deliciously dramatic.
