Love Journal #19

"Strangers in Love" kicks off in 1953 with a tender, class-conscious romance between Brad and Delia, whose budding connection is tested by wealth, family pressure, and the judgment of peers. Written by Bill Woolfolk and brought to life with expressive, detailed art by John Buscema—both in pencils and inks—this heartfelt story captures the quiet intensity of young love defying expectations. The cover, also by Buscema, perfectly frames their emotional tension with a striking, period-accurate portrait.
