My Love #25

Marvel's My Love #25 from 1973 captures the tension of a changing era head-on, with a red-haired young woman declaring independence — literally stepping away from a reaching, pleading man — while a rally buzzes behind her, complete with "Equal Rights" signs and a speaker at the podium. The cover's bold tagline, "No Man Is My Master!", sets a charged romantic tone that reflects the women's liberation conversations of the moment. John Buscema's pencils and John Verpoorten's inks bring real emotional energy to both figures, making this a snapshot of romance comics wrestling thoughtfully with the social currents of 1973.
