First Kiss #17

Against a dramatic backdrop of jet aircraft cutting through golden clouds, a young woman in a dark dress melts into the arms of a uniformed pilot for a tender, breathless kiss — while her thought balloon reveals the aching worry beneath the romance. This November 1960 Charlton romance issue spotlights the story "My Heart Had Wings," and the cover art by Joe Sinnott and Vince Colletta captures that bittersweet tension between love and longing with real emotional depth. A warm pick for fans of mid-century romance comics at their most heartfelt.
