“Afraid”

This April 1959 Charlton romance title captures the tender heart of the genre with a cover by Dick Giordano (pencils) and Vince Colletta (inks) depicting a blonde woman and her partner locked in a close, heartfelt embrace at what appears to be a kitchen table set with cups and dishes. The warm colors and intimate scene speak to the "Wonderful, Thrilling Love" promised by the starburst callouts — and readers were also invited to win from a pool of 8,000 prizes with details inside. With interior work from Charles Nicholas, Vince Alascia, and letterer Jon D'Agostino, this ten-cent issue is a genuine slice of 1950s romance comics at their most earnest and appealing.
