My Own Romance #64

Mid-century romance comics don't get more heartfelt than this July 1958 entry in Marvel's My Own Romance, with cover art by Vince Colletta. The cover draws you right into a charged outdoor moment: a young dark-haired woman in a magenta dress and a young man in a striped jacket stand locked in an embrace, his words — "Karen, you little fool! It's you! Don't you see? It's always been you for me!" — practically leaping off the page. Promises of two stories, "A Teen-Ager in Love!" and "We Met on a Cruise!," signal an issue packed with the kind of honest, earnest emotion that made this series a staple of 1950s romance comics.
