Love Romances #53

From Atlas Comics in November 1955, this tenth-of-a-dollar gem captures the dreamy sweep of mid-fifties romance comics at their most heartfelt. The cover by Dick Giordano and Vince Colletta fills the frame with a dark-haired woman swooning into a tender kiss with a blond young man, yellow flowers blooming softly beside them — a quietly gorgeous image that promises exactly what the tagline delivers: "I Was in Heaven with the Moonlight and You!" Inside, Jay Scott Pike and Christopher Rule bring you all-new romances, including that featured story, crafted with the warmth and sincerity that made this era of comics genuinely special.
