Love Romances #76

A golden-haired young woman holds a man's face tenderly in her gloved hands on this warmly rendered cover by Vince Colletta, the tension between them perfectly captured alongside a red rose and a heart-shaped caption that reads "When he kissed me, I wanted it to be… for the rest of my life!" The teasing headline — "The Lady's in Love! So Why Is It — 'The Lady Says No'!?" — promises the kind of bittersweet romantic conflict that made Marvel's 1958 romance line so irresistible. At just a dime, issue #76 of Love Romances delivers all the heartfelt drama fans of the "Girls in Love" era were looking for.
