Young Romance #159

In "Love Put Out the Light," Judy and Andy cross paths by chance when their dates stand them up, leading to a single, fleeting evening together. Though they’re drawn to each other, both leave thinking the other didn’t feel the same—misunderstanding that lingers in the quiet aftermath. Art by Tony Abruzzo, with inks by Bernard Sachs and lettering by Ira Schnapp, this 1969 Young Romance issue captures a tender moment of youthful connection, all rendered in the classic style of the era. The cover, by Bill Draut and Dick Giordano, perfectly frames the bittersweet mood of the story.
