My Own Romance #59

A charming slice of 1957 romance drama, My Own Romance #59 opens with a cover by Vince Colletta that tells a whole story at a glance — a sharp-dressed young man warmly greets a dark-haired woman named Jill, while two disapproving onlookers whisper behind them that he's "just a soda-jerk." The story teased is "Working Girl," promising the kind of heartfelt, everyday romance the series celebrated, where love doesn't care much about social standing. A delightful ten-cent window into mid-century romantic fiction at its most relatable.
