Hi-School Romance #63

Two teens share milkshakes at a soda fountain counter in this warm slice of 1957 high-school life, while a blonde girl perched on a stool in the background adds a quietly loaded third presence to the scene. The young man holds a pair of sunglasses as he leans in attentively, and the cover copy — "Was he trying to make me over… until I would be exactly like him" — hints at the kind of emotionally charged romantic tension that made Harvey's Hi-School Romance such a reliable monthly read. Joe Simon's cover art captures the era's bittersweet dating-scene drama with clean, expressive linework that draws you right into the booth alongside them.
