I Love You #96

Charlton's long-running romance title delivers another dose of heartfelt drama with this March 1972 entry, featuring cover art by Sal Gentile. The cover draws you straight into an emotional dilemma: a dark-haired young woman slips a ring onto her finger while a thought bubble betrays her doubt — "Why did I accept his ring if I don't even love him?" — as a young man gazes on, unaware of her conflict. With interior art by Sururi Gümen and the featured story "Wasted Loves," this twenty-cent issue captures the bittersweet complexity of romantic choices that defined Charlton romance comics at their most quietly compelling.
