Love Romances #87

A room full of competing hearts and crossed signals makes for a wonderfully charged cover on this 1960 entry in Marvel's Girls in Love romance line. Jack Kirby's pencils and Vince Colletta's inks bring the drama to life across a crowded social scene — a young woman in a pink dress leans intently toward a dark-suited man at a table, while onlookers react with jealousy, concern, and dismissal, speech bubbles flying in every direction. Promising "a love romance which could be your own," the heart-shaped blurb "I Want to Get Married!" captures exactly the earnest, relatable emotional stakes that made these titles so appealing at just ten cents a copy.
