Love Romances #99

Love Romances #99 brings the drama of forbidden romance right to the cover, where a red-haired young woman and a man named Nick share a passionate embrace outside a diner — she pleading "Swear you'll never leave me, Nick!" — while an outraged older man looks on in disbelief, gasping that he's found his daughter in the arms of a truck driver. Jack Kirby's pencils and inking by Vince Colletta and George Klein give the scene real emotional charge, capturing both the tenderness of the couple and the indignation of the disapproving father figure in the background. "The Teen-Ager and the Truck Driver!" promises exactly the kind of heartfelt, conflict-driven romance that made Marvel's 1962 romance line so appealing to readers of the era.
