Lovers #73

A young blonde woman in a red top and plaid skirt sits nestled in a young man's arms on a sun-warmed rock beside a quiet stream, both beaming with the kind of hopeful tenderness that made Atlas romance comics so appealing in 1955. The cover by Vince Colletta perfectly captures that bittersweet longing spelled out in the tagline — "As he held me in his arms, I prayed he'd be 'The Man I'd Marry!'" Inside, John Tartaglione brings the all-new tales to life, including the promised "Schoolgirl Crush," making this a satisfying read for anyone who loves heartfelt, mid-century romance storytelling.
