Love Diary #19

From Charlton's romance line comes this tender December 1961 issue, with cover art by Joe Sinnott and Vince Colletta that pulls you right into the drama — a young man gently cradles a dark-haired woman's face in an intimate near-kiss, while smaller vignettes around them show couples holding hands at sunset, a moonlit embrace, and a quiet moment together beneath the palms. The featured story teaser, "Day of Heartbreak," sets the emotional stakes with its bittersweet tagline about a love that seemed perfect until something changed. With Joe Gill writing and Joe Sinnott on interior art as well, this is a polished, heartfelt entry in Charlton's mid-century romance catalog.
