Hollywood Romances #59

Charlton's Hollywood Romances #59 captures the glittering tension of Tinseltown with a cover by Sal Gentile and Vince Alascia that tells its own compelling story — a sharp-eyed brunette in a lavender gown watches with barely concealed alarm as a man whispers to a blonde starlet under stage lights, her thought bubble confessing she can't help falling for him despite knowing better. A second speech balloon carries a cold threat of professional ruin, making it clear the stakes in this glamorous world go well beyond romance. Inside, Norman Nodel brings the drama to life with all-new stories and art, including "Come, Be a Star" — and at just 15 cents in 1971, this Charlton gem delivers big emotions in a compact, stylish package.
