Just Married #18

This March 1961 Charlton romance features a cover by penciler Joe Sinnott and inker Vince Colletta that draws you right into a bittersweet island reverie — a couple embraces in the foreground while, in a smaller vignette, a dark-haired young woman sits alone near a lighthouse, gazing out at sea and sky. The cover copy captures the push and pull of newlywed isolation perfectly: "my love and I alone on a lovely island… sea, sky and sun!" giving way to the ache of "I yearned for wings to set me free." At just a dime, Just Married #18 is a charming window into early-'60s romance comics, and the issue's interior story, "Accent on Love," is crafted by the talented team of writer Joe Gill and artist Joe Sinnott.
