Heart Throbs #62

Against the backdrop of a passenger airplane on the tarmac, a young woman in a purple jacket fixes a man in a red blazer with a tearful, determined gaze — her speech bubble delivering the cover's gut-punch line: "Go ahead — but this time don't come back to me… I won't be waiting!" Tony Abruzzo's pencils and Bernard Sachs's inks capture that charged airport farewell with the emotional clarity that made DC's National Romance Group a go-to for readers in 1959. This issue of Heart Throbs features the story "Come Home to Heartbreak!" and promises the kind of bittersweet romantic tension the series did so well.
