Love Diary #95

Charlton's Love Diary #95 arrives in 1975 with a dreamy, soft-focus cover by Enrique Nieto that perfectly captures the romantic mood of the era — a close couple, she in a pale veil and golden earring, he in a dapper bow tie, sharing a tender moment bathed in cool blues and warm pastels. The smaller inset image of an embracing couple surrounded by hearts adds an extra touch of sweetness to the composition. Inside, Art Cappello brings the stories to life, including the evocatively titled "Bus to Nowhere" — romance comics don't get more invitingly melancholy than that.
