The DC Comics romance series Secret Hearts would become one of the publisher's most successful and well-known romance titles, lasting 153 issues 1949-1971.  But surprisingly, the series might just as easily have become another forgotten moment of 1950s romance comic book history.

The title was canceled with issue #6 at the height of the romance comic book glut in 1950 but made a return with Secret Hearts #7 a year and a half later to continue its 22-year run. Over the course of those 22 years, nearly 70 creators contributed to the title, with virtually none of them working on the title for more than a few issues. Surprisingly, Mike Sekowsky, a DC Comics romance regular, has the top honors for a penciler contributing to the most issues, with 13 credits on the title.

' An important and long-running title in American romance comic book history, there are several issues of Secret Hearts up for auction in the 2023 October 26 – 27 Romance Comics Featuring L. B. Cole Showcase Auction #40224 at Heritage Auctions. #gallery-1 { margin: auto; } #gallery-1 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 33%; } #gallery-1 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-1 .
