Love Diary #91

Charlton's Love Diary #91 opens January 1975 with a cover by Jack Abel that sets a sweepingly romantic tone: a couple locked in a passionate beachside kiss, the young woman in a red headscarf and floral outfit swept close by a shirtless man against a backdrop of tropical palms, vivid pink mountains, and a star-flecked night sky. A small inset vignette in the upper corner hints at another tender moment, doubling down on the emotional warmth this series was known for. With Joe Gill writing and Charles Nicholas and Wayne Howard handling the interior art, "A Shattered Dream" promises the kind of heartfelt romantic drama that made Charlton's romance line a staple of the era.
