My Love #21

A young woman's heart is torn between family disapproval and genuine feeling in My Love #21, framed by the story title "His Hair Is Long and I Love Him!" Cover art by Alan Weiss and Frank Giacoia puts the tension right up front: a charismatic rock performer in a red shirt commands the spotlight on stage, backed by his band, while a dark-haired young woman watches with emotion, a skeptical older man looming in the foreground. Her caption says it all — "If only my father could see past Ronnie's appearance… if he could see his soul as I have" — and Marvel's promise of "Tales of Love That Could Be Yours!" makes this 1973 romance anthology feel genuinely personal.
