Hi-School Romance #66

A sunny outdoor scene sets the romantic tension perfectly in this 1957 Harvey title: a girl in a yellow fringed dress sits on the grass, books scattered around her, while a smiling young man leans in close — yet another girl lingers in the background near a tree, watching. The cover's plaintive caption, "Why couldn't he see that I wanted to be more than a pal?" promises the kind of heartfelt emotional drama that made Hi-School Romance a staple of the True Love Series. Al Avison's cover art captures that bittersweet teenage longing with real warmth, making this "Suspicious of Love!" issue a charming snapshot of 1957 romance comics at their most relatable.
