Just Married #44

A warm fireplace sets the mood on this November 1965 Charlton romance as a smiling dark-haired woman in green leans close to a man reclining in her arms, her speech bubble declaring "Darling Cal… how I do love you!" The cover teaser for "The Cost of Loving" hints at a widow's journey through loneliness, doubt, and the aching question of whether love is truly returned — all rendered with confident linework by cover artists Pat Masulli and Dick Giordano. With Joe Gill writing and Sal Gentile illustrating the interior, Just Married #44 delivers the heartfelt emotional drama that made Charlton's romance line such a reliable comfort read.
