Patsy and Hedy #99

Marvel's Patsy and Hedy #99 captures the heartache of rivalry and romance in a single, emotionally charged image: a tearful Patsy, pearls and charm bracelet catching the light, watches helplessly as Hedy walks off with a uniformed young man, while a heart-shaped vignette poses the teasing question of who this "handsome new man" really is. Sol Brodsky's pencils and Vince Colletta's inks give the scene a polished, expressive warmth that perfectly suits these "Career Girls" and their complicated love lives. The cover story, "Trust Me, My Love!" — billed as "thrilling because it's based on true life!" — promises the kind of sincere, emotionally honest drama that made this series a favorite for romance comics fans in 1965.
