Love Romances #73

A charged farewell scene plays out on this January 1958 cover, where a young blonde woman in a blue dress clutches a dark-suited man at what appears to be a train platform, their speech bubbles crackling with heartbreak and finality. Vince Colletta's inking gives the moment a polished, cinematic tension — a bystander watches from the background, oblivious to the emotional storm unfolding in the foreground. Promising stories including "Man-Trap!" and "If You Loved Me!," this Girls in Love installment captures everything that made mid-century romance comics so irresistibly compelling.
