Lovers #85

Lovers #85 captures the bittersweet ache of 1957 romance in a single striking image: a dark-haired young woman dabs tears from her eyes in the foreground while, just behind her, a young man in an orange sweater shares an intimate moment with a blonde woman near a classroom chalkboard. The cover banner promises both "happiness and heartbreak" in "Going Steady," and a second teaser — "Last One Is an Old Maid!" — adds a pointed edge that will resonate with any reader who's ever felt left behind. With cover art by Tom Scheuer, this Atlas-era romance anthology delivers the kind of emotionally charged storytelling that made Lovers a reliable companion for fans of the genre.
