Young Love #77

In "The Brush-Off," Steve tries to prove his genuine feelings for Lisa, determined to win her trust without relying on her wealth—though her father isn’t convinced, hiring a detective to keep an eye on their relationship. With quiet emotional stakes and a touch of romantic tension, this 1969 issue captures a moment of vulnerability and doubt. The story unfolds in the familiar, heartfelt style of DC’s romance comics, illustrated with care by Vince Colletta, while Dick Giordano’s cover art perfectly captures the mood of the moment—both tender and tense.
