Confessions of the Lovelorn...
... and other comic books/covers from the '40s and '50s.
For the category of Classic Good Girl and Romance Covers, the site's creator notes, they are comics for girls and feature stories of love and romance, often with surprisingly adult themes and situations.
For example, "My Love Life" has sub-titles of the pieces inside such as I Asked for Trouble, Week-End Wife and I Was an Untamed Filly. In "Love Lessons," the cover includes this list: A Wolf Without a Sheepskin, Love em and Leave em, The Strange Case of the Wounded Lover.
Titles from the rest of the cover collection include: "Confessions of the Lovelorn," "Flaming Love," "Ideal Romance," "Secret Love," "Radiant Love," "Strange Confessions," "Strange Love," "Life Secrets," "Love Lessons" and "Love Scandals," among others.
In addition to the comics mentioned above, the site also has Classic Super-Hero and War Covers and Classic Crime and Horror Covers.

I love old comic book covers. They had style back then!

Yeah they did have style - I wonder what happened to that.
