Hi-School Romance #49

This charming 1956 Harvey romance title captures the swooning tension of teenage love with a cover by Al Avison showing a young couple sharing a soda at what looks like a school cafeteria counter, their faces drawn close together while another girl watches wistfully from the background — a triangle simmering in plain sight. The cover teaser asks it all: "Would he ever love me… or would I always be… The Outsider!" Inside, Bill Draut brings his warmly expressive linework to "My Shattered Love," promising the kind of heartfelt emotional storytelling that made Hi-School Romance a reliable favorite for readers who wanted their feelings put honestly into panels.
