“Too Shy for Romance!”

In "Too Shy for Romance!", Young Romance #142 (1966) delivers a sweet, quietly poignant look at first feelings through the eyes of Tina, a girl whose shyness keeps her from connecting with boys—even when they seem to notice her. The story captures a tender moment of mutual recognition when she meets someone just as hesitant as she is, all rendered with Gene Colan’s expressive art and Bernard Sachs’ careful inks. Jay Scott Pike’s cover perfectly captures the nervous charm of the moment, making this a standout in DC’s romance anthology series.
