Love Diary #50

A striking cover by Ernesto García Seijas sets the emotional tone for this 1967 Charlton romance issue — a red-haired woman in the foreground looks away with visible heartbreak while, just behind her, a man in a suit embraces a blonde woman in the evening shadows. The featured story title, "All Tears, No Kisses," says it all, promising the kind of bittersweet romantic tension that made Love Diary a staple of the genre. With Joe Gill writing and V. Colletta on art for the interior tale "A Widow's Walk," this twelve-cent issue delivers the passionate, emotionally charged storytelling Charlton fans came to love.
