Sweethearts #98

A warm red backdrop sets the mood perfectly for this April 1951 installment of Fawcett's long-running romance anthology, where the cover photo captures a smiling young woman in an off-the-shoulder dress gazing out while a dapper man in a houndstooth jacket and bow tie leans close beside her. The photo cover conveys exactly the tender, charged atmosphere that made Sweethearts a staple of mid-century romance comics. Three stories are promised inside — "Night Fury," "My Counterfeit Love," and "Retribution!" — suggesting a satisfying mix of passion and drama for just a dime.
