Love Diary #47

Charlton's Love Diary #47 captures the emotional tension of 1967 romance comics beautifully, with cover art by Dick Giordano showing a well-dressed young man embracing a dark-haired woman in a red dress beside a moonlit waterway — she pulls back, her expression troubled, as speech bubbles reveal his plea and her anguished "Everything is wrong now! Let me alone!" The story teased on the cover, "Don't Speak of Love!," promises the kind of heartfelt drama that made this series a staple for readers who wanted genuine feeling on every page. Writer Gary Friedrich and artist Norman Nodel deliver the interior story, making this a fine example of Charlton's thoughtful approach to the romance genre.
