Love Romances #62

A rainy evening becomes the most romantic moment imaginable on Vince Colletta's cover for this December 1956 issue, where a young woman in a red polka-dot skirt and yellow top gazes up at her letterman-jacketed beau as the two share an oblivious, rain-soaked moment together. The tagline "My Love and I — are together, nothing else matters!" captures the dreamy mood perfectly, while a tease of "The Night He Proposed!" promises the kind of heartfelt drama that made Love Romances a staple of mid-1950s romance comics. At just ten cents, this Girls in Love installment delivers all the warmth and longing that fans of the genre adored.
