Love Romances #65

A tender moment at the ticket window sets the mood for this 1957 Atlas romance anthology, as a young blonde woman in a red suit gazes up at her dark-suited beau while a smiling ticket agent hands over what appears to be their travel documents — the cover teasing "At Last We Had Begun Our Honeymoon Trip!" Vince Colletta's linework captures the warmth and nervous excitement of new love with appealing mid-century charm, right down to the onlooking couple in the background adding a slice of everyday life to the scene. With the tagline "As Romantic as Life Itself," Love Romances #65 promises heartfelt stories — including the intriguingly titled "The Man I'm Losing!" — that spoke directly to readers who wanted their comics to feel real.
