My Love #13

Marvel's romance line is on full display in My Love #13, where a tearful blonde woman in a green turtleneck reaches desperately for a rotary telephone while a framed portrait of a young man watches from beside her — her anguished speech bubbles asking what she'll do if he never calls capturing the era's heartfelt emotional storytelling. The cover, penciled by John Buscema and inked by Frank Giacoia and John Verpoorten, frames the universal anxiety of waiting by the phone with genuine warmth and drama. Inside, Stan Lee, Gene Colan, and Bill Everett bring their considerable talents to "How Do I Make Him Love Me?" — a tale the cover promises is one every reader can relate to.
