I Love You #129

Charlton's long-running romance series I Love You reaches issue #129 with a cover by Frank Bolle that perfectly captures the tender tension of the title — a dark-haired young man in a red shirt gently cradling a auburn-haired woman's face as the two lean in close beneath a luminous full moon, bare winter trees silhouetted against a deep blue sky. The quiet intimacy of that moonlit moment sets a warm, melancholy mood that feels right at home with the interior story, "Compromise," written by Joe Gill with art by Charles Nicholas and Vince Alascia. A lovely slice of 1980 romance comics from one of the genre's most dependable publishers.
