I Love You #97

Charlton's long-running romance series delivers another issue packed with heartache and passion, promising "All New Stories — All New Art" right on the cover. Sal Gentile's cover art sets the emotional stakes beautifully: a close-up of a concerned young man watches from the foreground as a blonde woman and a dark-haired man in an orange jacket share an intimate moment, with competing thought balloons — "Be careful, Wendie, Paul is just a gigolo!" and "He makes me feel like a real woman!!" — perfectly capturing the dramatic tension. With the story "Lost in a World of Love" illustrated by Norman Nodel inside, this 1972 issue is a warm reminder of why Charlton's romance titles connected so genuinely with readers of the era.
