Love Diary #63

A dreamy snapshot of young romance from Charlton's Love Diary, this 1969 issue captures a lovesick girl daydreaming at her school desk, diary open beside a cupid-struck heart, while swooning visions of kisses and romantic longing float around her in soft clouds. The cover — pencilled and inked by Gutemberg Monteiro — ties it all to the featured story "Stay After School," teased in bold lettering at the bottom alongside a tender kissing scene. For fans of 1969 romance comics, this 15-cent Charlton gem delivers that wistful, diary-confessional mood the genre did so well.
