Hollywood Romances #55

Hollywood Romances #55 captures the bittersweet tension of fame and longing in a single, carefully composed cover by Leandro Sesarego. A young woman with long auburn hair shares a loaded moment with a blond man while a director figure calls out "Cut! You're playing it all wrong, Gloria — this is supposed to be a happy scene!"; all the while her thought bubble quietly wonders if real love will ever find her. Hovering in the background, a glamorous starlet lounges in a director's chair, framing the story's central theme — that a pedestal, as the interior tale "A Pedestal is a Lonely Place!" suggests, can feel awfully isolating no matter how bright the spotlight.
