My Own Romance #55

Atlas Comics' My Own Romance #55 from January 1957 captures that sweet mid-century romance mood perfectly, with Vince Colletta's cover art depicting a beaming young woman in a red dress and pearl necklace walking arm-in-arm with a dapper young man in a sport coat — the two clearly smitten as they stroll beneath the trees. A second couple lingers in the background, adding a charming sense of a park full of romantic possibility. Teasing stories titled "Flirtation Walk! That Was Where I Found Love!" and "I Married a Millionaire!" promise the kind of heartfelt, dramatic romance tales that made this Atlas series a favorite at the spinner rack.
