Lovers #68

A cheerful city street sets the scene on this July 1955 Atlas romance anthology, where a dark-haired young woman in a red blouse and gold jewelry beams up at a well-dressed blond man in a plaid blazer and tie, the two of them clearly sharing a warm moment together. Story teasers on the cover — "When True Love Comes!" and "A Ring for My Finger!" — hint at the heartfelt romantic dilemmas packed inside, with Carl Wessler writing and Jay Scott Pike handling the art. With cover work by Vince Colletta and Carl Burgos capturing that breezy, optimistic 1950s mood, Lovers #68 is a genuine snapshot of mid-century romance comics at their most earnest and charming.
