Romantic Love #10

In "Love Is Like Hate!" from Romantic Love #10 (1952), boxer Joe finds himself caught between two women—his former girlfriend Tiny, who returns with a baby she claims is the gambler Nick’s, and high society Barbara, with whom he’s fallen in love. As Joe’s life spirals amid betrayal and heartbreak, his championship win becomes a turning point. When he’s falsely accused of Tiny’s murder, Barbara’s unexpected alibi offers a fragile chance at redemption. The story unfolds with emotional weight, driven by the quiet power of second chances. Art by Rafael Astarita brings the era’s drama to life with expressive detail.
