Secret Hearts #39

A charged moment under the glow of a streetlamp sets the mood for this May 1957 installment of DC's Secret Hearts, part of their Personal Love Stories line. The cover — inked by Bernard Sachs — captures a dark-haired woman clutching a letter near a U.S. mailbox while a stern-suited man restrains her, his speech balloon declaring, "No, darling — I won't let you mail it! Mickey's come between us long enough!" Inside, Bill Draut brings his penciling and inking talents to "Secret Love," and the issue also promises the tantalizing story "Love Is a Riddle!" — making this a richly emotional read for romance fans of the era.
