SECRET WARS: SECRET LOVE

For those who say new romance comics aren't marketable, I offer...
...this current one-shot title from Marvel Comics, with a variant cover by the usually-amazing David Nakayama (who apparently doesn't know how easy it is to do a decent "retro-Lichtenstein" ben-day dot pattern in PhotoShop).
Note: the stories inside are much better than the cover.
The book has already sold out and is scheduled for a second printing, hopefully with a corrected cover!
Next week:
We haven't decided yet what it'll be, but we can guarantee that...
You'll Cry Your Eyes Out if You Miss It!
(Oh, you've heard that, eh?)

And now a word from out sponsor...

GIRLS' ROMANCES "It's Over -- All Over!"

They're the last words anyone wants to hear from a loved one...
...as presented in this lead tale from DC's Girls' Romances #139 (1969)
When the story was reprinted and updated with modified hairstyles and clothing in Young Romance #203 (1975), it was retitled "Come to My Wedding!"
Though the writer is unknown, the art is credited to Tony Abruzzo, who specialized in romance stories and covers from 1954 to arond 1973, exclusively for DC!
He was one of the artists whose work Roy Lichtenstein "appropriated" for his Pop Art paintings.
