Secret Hearts #70

DC's long-running romance anthology delivers another emotionally charged installment with this April 1961 issue, cover-penciled and inked by John Romita. The cover draws you right into the heartache: a young woman in a green dress stands in the foreground, hands clasped anxiously to her lips, as she watches a man lean attentively toward a blonde woman seated in a gleaming yellow convertible — the speech bubble capturing her dread perfectly with "She's the other girl — and it's not over between them!" Werner Roth handles the interior art for "Girl in Love," making this a fine showcase of the craft and emotional storytelling that kept Secret Hearts a staple of early-'60s romance comics.
