If you can't read it, it says
Should I Keep My Love a Secret? Or Compete With... "My Sister, My Rival"
Now, if that referred to this cover, by romance comic standards, it would be the bus driver in the background who's speaking, meaning that's his sister in the foreground, and she's his rival for the affections of the coffee-counter guy. Now, I've got no problem with that, but I don't think it would have gotten that code seal in the corner in 1956 with that plot.

From your remarks it appears you haven't seen the original issue. If you'll pardon my asking, could the image be a manipulated version of the cover, created as a joke?
I get great joy from your blog. Thanks for everything you do.
I've seen a seperate smaller scan of the cover, and while the lettering is too small to read, it does appear to be the same. Just a rather odd juxtaposition that whoever was doing the layout didn't get.
Thanks for the kind words.
