Love Diary #60

Charlton's Love Diary #60 leads with a cover by penciler Art Cappello and inker Sal Gentile that captures romantic heartbreak in full 1969 style — a tearful auburn-haired young woman, a tear tracing her cheek, stands beside a stern-faced young man against a suburban backdrop, their speech bubbles spelling out a painful reversal of the previous night's promises. The story title "No, I Don't Love You, Darling" sets a bittersweet emotional tone, while interior art from the team of Charles Nicholas and Vince Alascia promises the kind of earnest, emotionally charged romance storytelling that made Charlton's love comics a reliable escape for readers of the era.
