The cover to Love Song Romances #64 is from DC's Secret Hearts #141, but unlike the DC issue, the KG Murray edition promotes the full title of the cover story 20 Miles to Heartbreak.
Well, almost - this story was originally published in 4 parts, serialised across issues of Young Love and Secret Hearts - and this issue contains 20 Miles to Heartbreak [Part 2].
I was vaguely aware of this as an Alex Toth title, and would have liked the whole story to be in this issue. However, beginning as it does with the opening of page of part 2, it does so in impressive fashion:
It's the final panel spread across the page which draws me in - ominous and abstract, it's an effective tease of an invitation to turn the page to find out what happens next. It could have been an unnerving closing panel to a chapter or a story too - one might read the 4 headlights as ellipses.
I'm sure the other chapters to this story appeared in other KG Murray issues - likely in issues of Love Song Romances, but they could well be in other titles.
