Secret Hearts #31

A young man in a blue jacket leans urgently over a wooden fence posted with a "Private — No Trespassing" sign, declaring to a blonde woman in a rust-colored coat, "We love each other! You know it! And all the fences in the world aren't going to keep us apart!" This January 1955 issue of DC's Secret Hearts — featuring the story "Love — Keep Out!" — captures that familiar romantic tension between passion and the barriers people place in love's way, with cover inks by Mike Esposito bringing the charged scene to vivid life. If heartfelt drama set against a rural backdrop is your thing, issue #31 delivers that warm, bittersweet feeling that made Personal Love Stories a staple of mid-century romance comics.
