Hi-School Romance #20

Harvey's Hi-School Romance delivers another slice of 1953 heartache with this sun-drenched cover by Al Avison, where a young woman in a yellow blouse and a young man lean in for a stolen kiss between two horses — while a watchful figure lingers disapprovingly in the background near a red barn. The cover teaser sets the mood perfectly: "Trapped by loneliness! Starved for glamor, for excitement, for thrills!" — promising the kind of emotionally charged drama that made this series a favorite with teenage readers. "My Rebellious Heart" looks to be exactly the sort of bittersweet, countryside romance that Hi-School Romance did so well.
