Lovers #51

Atlas Comics' Lovers #51 from July 1953 brings all the drama and heartache of mid-century romance to vivid life in a cover by Jerry Robinson. A tearful young woman adorned with roses dominates the foreground, while behind her a tuxedoed man and a bride in white appear caught in a tense, swirling confrontation — a woman in yellow and a younger girl in green looking on — all centered around the bold teaser "A Boy, A Girl, and an… Affair of the Heart!" Inside, Al Hartley brings the stories to life, including "Me, Myself and I," making this a fine example of the emotionally charged romance comics that captivated readers in 1953.
