My Secret Life #40

A dreamy collage of romance fills Dick Giordano's cover for this June 1961 Charlton title — a golden-haired young woman gazes wistfully alongside a tender close-up of a couple sharing a kiss, while a smaller vignette shows a man approaching two women near a garden of roses. The cover copy sets the mood perfectly: "Love can come at anytime… but then he came to town — the dark, handsome, silent… Mystery Man!" With writer Joe Gill's "Confession" inside and a bonus $3.37 in coupons plus a contest, this is a satisfying slice of early-'60s romance comics at its most heartfelt.
