My Love #28

A brunette singer grips the microphone with tearful intensity, her green off-shoulder dress catching the spotlight while a guitarist and a packed, colorfully dressed crowd fill the background — it's a cover by John Buscema and Joe Sinnott that practically hums with emotional drama. Promising "A Tale to Tear Your Heartstrings" with the featured story "My Song...And My Sorrow," this May 1974 issue of My Love delivers exactly the kind of bittersweet romance Marvel's tagline "Tales of Love That Could Be Yours" was built on. With interior work from writer Gary Friedrich, artist Mike Sekowsky, inker Jack Abel, and letterer Sam Rosen, it's a polished package for anyone who loves their heartache served with style.
