Sweethearts #100

Sweethearts hits its 100th issue with a sun-drenched June picnic scene that perfectly captures postwar romance — a smiling young woman in a teal sweater playfully feeds an apple to her companion as they share a blanket spread with a wicker basket and thermos amid a field of wildflowers. The cover art by Marc Swayze radiates easy, genuine warmth, making this milestone 1951 issue feel like a lazy afternoon well spent. Inside, story titles like "I Joined the WACs," "Shameless!," and "The Reluctant Heart" promise the kind of heartfelt, emotionally charged tales that made Fawcett's romance line so appealing to readers of the era.
