Sweethearts #95

Sweethearts #95 from Fawcett captures the tender, bittersweet mood of early 1950s romance comics beautifully — a young woman in a blue sweater looks on with a warm smile as a well-dressed young man carves what appears to be a heart into a tree beside her. The cover's photographic style gives the whole scene a genuinely intimate feel, and the story titles — "Gateway to Heartache," "Forbidden Dream," and "Faithless!" — promise the kind of emotionally charged tales that made this series a favorite with romance readers of 1951.
