Lovers #47

From Atlas Comics' long-running romance series comes this March 1953 entry, with a cover by Al Hartley that captures a groom sweeping his radiant, veil-trailing bride off her feet on what appears to be a porch steps — a pair of "Just Married" suitcases waiting at their feet. The warm, sun-drenched colors and the story title "Here Comes the Bride!" make this an irresistibly cheerful snapshot of mid-century romance comics at their most heartfelt. Inside, Alice Kirkpatrick's artwork brings the drama of "Two Men Had Martha" to life, promising the kind of tender and turbulent love triangle that made Lovers a favorite on newsstands.
