Young Love #53

In "A Heart Full of Pride!", Mib's long-held feelings for Jimmy take a surprising turn when she finds an unconventional way to finally catch his eye—though whether he notices her for the right reasons remains to be seen. With Tony Abruzzo's heartfelt art and John Romita’s expressive inks bringing the quiet tension to life, this 1966 issue captures a tender moment of adolescent longing with a touch of whimsy. The cover, also by Romita, perfectly captures the emotional pivot of the story.
