Secret Hearts #34

A bride rushes through the street in a swirl of white gown and veil, her expression one of anguished doubt, while a well-dressed young man and a startled woman look on from outside a grocery storefront — it's a perfectly captured moment of romantic crisis right there on the cover. Arthur Peddy's pencils and Bernard Sachs's inks bring real emotional weight to this 1956 DC romance title, rendering the bride's turmoil with the kind of expressive detail that made Secret Hearts such a compelling read. Featuring the story "This Foolish Heart!" and the teased "Runaway Heart!" inside, this issue is a wonderful snapshot of mid-1950s romance comics at their heartfelt best.
