My Love #27

A young woman in a green turtleneck and beaded headband reaches anxiously toward a red rotary telephone, her tearful eyes fixed on a framed portrait of a dark-haired man beside her — the cover of My Love #27 captures that aching tension of waiting for a call that may never come. The cover tagline "How Do I Make Him Love Me?" sets an emotionally charged tone, while a small inset vignette of a couple embracing hints at the romantic longing running through these pages. With cover pencils by John Buscema and inks by Frank Giacoia and John Verpoorten, this 1974 Marvel romance entry delivers heartfelt storytelling in every carefully rendered detail.
