Lovers #32

Lovers #32 brings the drama of postwar romance to a boil with a cover by George Klein and Chris Rule that puts a glamorous red-gowned woman at the center of a three-way tug-of-war — a smooth-talking man in a teal suit urging her toward the spotlight, a heartbroken beau pleading for their love, and a concerned friend looking on in dismay. The cover's bold speech bubbles spell out Doris Dawn's dilemma loud and clear: ambition versus affection, career versus commitment. Also promised inside are "No Love for Judy!," "The Decision of Ann Tressley!," and more — making this 1951 ten-cent issue a compact anthology of the romantic conflicts that made the romance genre such compelling reading.
