Sweethearts #70

This December 1948 issue of Sweethearts captures the warm glow of romance perfectly, with a young couple locked in a close dance — her pearl necklace and off-shoulder dress catching the light as he leans in, tweed jacket and all, against a softly lit ballroom backdrop. Four stories promise a full range of heartfelt drama: "Without Love," "Fortune Hunter," "I Was a Heart Breaker," and "Spiteful" — titles that hint at the bittersweet complexity Fawcett's romance anthology did so well. At just ten cents, this was an irresistible December treat for fans of mid-century love stories told with genuine feeling.
