I Love You #86

Charlton's long-running romance series delivers a bittersweet mood in this 1970 entry, with cover art by Luis Avila that tells two stories at once — a couple sharing a tender, close embrace in the foreground while, just below, that same young woman appears again in tears, leaning into her companion's shoulder. The cover copy for the featured story, "Happiness Guaranteed," pointedly asks, "Look at us, aren't we perfect together? Now look more closely — if I have so much, why am I crying?" It's a quietly haunting image that captures the emotional complexity Charlton's romance line did so well, and interior art by Charles Nicholas and Vince Alascia promises the same careful storytelling inside.
