Hi-School Romance #75

A perfectly composed cover by Joe Simon sets the scene for heartbreak and betrayal: a young man in a purple suit steals a kiss from a blonde woman in red against a tree — its bark carved with a heart and initials — while an elegant dark-haired woman in an evening gown looks on from the background. The cover tagline, "…I could forgive him for anything but deceit!," captures the charged emotional stakes at the heart of this 1958 Harvey romance title. With "Second Best Beau" inside and Hi-School Romance now running monthly, this ten-cent issue delivers the kind of swooning, bittersweet drama that made the genre so compelling.
