True Secrets #38

Atlas Comics delivers a perfectly pitched slice of mid-1950s romantic drama with this May 1956 issue of True Secrets. Vince Colletta's cover art captures the emotional tension beautifully — a dark-haired woman in the foreground wipes away a tear while, just behind her, a tuxedoed young man grins between a vivacious redhead in a striped gown and a brunette in blue, the story title "Too Many Girl Friends!" spelling out the heartache at a glance. A second teaser — "Don't Dare Miss: 'Anniversary!'" — promises even more romantic complications inside this all-brand-new issue.
