For Lovers Only #64

Charlton's For Lovers Only #64 delivers the heartfelt drama this long-running romance series does so well, with a cover by Don Perlin and Sal Gentile that puts the emotion front and center — a tearful blonde girl clutching a fishing rod leans urgently over a dark-haired young man, her plea "Don't die on me, Buck!" hanging in the air as a mysterious second young woman looks on from the background. The teaser "Will Rose be too late to use the right bait?" hints at the romantic stakes waiting inside, alongside an all-new story, "Tall Dark and Dangerous," with art by Horacio Altuna. Rounding things out is a free pin-up poster of Shirley Jones, making this 1972 issue a genuinely fun package for fans of classic romance comics.
