My Own Romance #60

A wonderfully charged slice of 1950s teen drama, this November 1957 issue of My Own Romance features cover art penciled by Matt Baker and inked by Vince Colletta — a pairing that brings real warmth and tension to the scene. A stern older woman in a floral apron confronts a young blonde girl, gesturing firmly as she declares, "You've been seeing too much of Don! I won't have you going steady at your age!" — while the boy in question lingers just outside the window, oblivious or perhaps all too aware. The cover's teaser, spotlighting the story "At My Age!", promises exactly the kind of heartfelt, relatable conflict that made Atlas romance titles a staple of the era.
