Sweethearts #87

Fawcett's long-running romance anthology returns with this warm May 1950 entry, its cover offering a tender close-up of a smiling blonde woman in a pearl necklace and a dapper gentleman in a brown suit leaning affectionately toward her — a snapshot of mid-century courtship at its most charming. With 52 pages packed with stories, this issue promises emotional range from the longing of "Heart Without Faith" and "Love's Dream" to the shadowy intrigue of "The Haunting Illusion" and "Pitfall." A dime bought a lot of heartfelt drama in 1950, and Sweethearts #87 delivers exactly that.
