First Kiss #14

Charlton's First Kiss #14 brings the bittersweet ache of 1960s romance comics to vivid life, with cover art penciled by Joe Sinnott and inked by Vince Colletta. The cover depicts a young blonde woman's close-up expression of longing at the top, while below her a couple shares a tender kiss outdoors near a farmhouse — and a watchful male figure lingers in the background, hinting at emotional complication. The featured story title "A Lonely Love" speaks to the heartache that made this genre so compelling, and with writer Joe Gill behind the interior tale "Jealousy," there's plenty of honest, relatable emotion waiting inside.
