Love Romances #27

A vivid slice of early-1950s romance drama, this Atlas Comics entry features a cover by Al Hartley that splits the scene beautifully: in the foreground, a dark-haired man pulls a blonde woman into a sweeping embrace, while in the background a uniformed officer points out the spectacle to a wide-eyed woman in a pink dress who can only stammer, "Y-You're right!" The banner teasing "Body and Soul!" and the promise of "Love Memoirs Taken from True Life!" give the whole package an irresistible air of heartfelt melodrama that defined the genre in 1953.
