Sweethearts #83

A cheerful winter romance sets the mood for this January 1950 issue of Sweethearts, with a smiling young couple dressed in cozy ski gear — she in a red sweater, knit cap, and oversized mittens, he in a Nordic-patterned sweater and blue cap with skis resting over his shoulder — sharing a warm moment against a crisp, pale blue sky. The cover promises a generous 52 pages of romance, with four stories including "My Last Chance for Love," "Memory's Souvenir," "The Well of Tears," and "A Wayward Heart." It's a warmhearted snapshot of postwar romance comics at their most inviting, all for a dime.
