Love Diary #3

This February 1959 Charlton romance title sets a tender mood with cover art penciled by Joe Sinnott and inked by Vince Colletta — a young couple share an intimate moment outdoors, the woman in a yellow dress cradled close as bare branches and lush leaves frame the scene around them. The title story, "Spring in My Heart," promises the kind of heartfelt emotion that made romance comics a staple of the era, written by Joe Gill with interior art by Charles Nicholas and Vince Colletta. As a bonus, a prominent starburst announces a chance to win 8,000 prizes — making this ten-cent issue a little extra treat for readers of the time.
