Love Romances #101

A September 1962 Marvel romance that captures the bittersweet ache of feeling perpetually overlooked — right there on the cover, a red-haired young woman cradles her face in her hands at the foreground while couples dance and whisper behind her, one pair exchanging the cutting remark, "Karen sure is a swell kid, isn't she, hon?" The heart-shaped caption says it all: romance, it seems, seldom beckons to a "regular gal." Jack Kirby's pencils and inking by Vince Colletta and George Klein give this emotional snapshot a polished warmth that makes Karen's quiet heartbreak genuinely affecting.
