Secret Hearts #78

In "Here Was Love!", Joan faces a heart-wrenching moment of regret when her decision to end things with Brian backfires—she thought she could find someone more romantic, but when he leaves town, she’s left confronting the quiet truth of what she’s lost. Tony Abruzzo’s expressive art, inked by Bernard Sachs, captures the emotional weight of a teenage love caught between impulse and longing. The cover, by John Romita in both pencils and inks, perfectly frames the story’s bittersweet tension.
