Just Married #90

Charlton's romance line was firing on all cylinders in 1972, and Just Married #90 is a fine example of the genre's emotional pull. Jeanette Elier's cover art captures a dark-haired woman leaning tenderly over a blond young man, their closeness charged with longing — while an inset panel hints at a brooding male figure lurking in the background, suggesting complications ahead. The cover copy spells out the tension beautifully: Steve wants to settle down, but Martha is too busy "Making the Scene," promising the kind of romantic push-and-pull that made Charlton's romance titles so satisfying.
