Love Tales #66

A sweet slice of mid-1950s romance from Atlas Comics, this issue of Love Tales features a charming cover by Tom Scheuer showing a blond young woman and a smitten Army sergeant sharing a milkshake at a soda fountain, their hands clasped together as they lean close — while another soldier looks on with an amused grin in the background. The lead story, "Soldier's Girl," promises the kind of heartfelt, bittersweet romance that made this era's comics a beloved part of everyday reading. At just ten cents, it's a warm snapshot of postwar American love stories told with genuine feeling.
