Love Diary #97

Charlton's Love Diary #97 brings a warmly rendered romantic moment straight from 1976, with Tom Sutton's cover art depicting a young couple — he in a captain's cap, she with flowing auburn hair — leaning in for a tender kiss against a radiant, sunburst sky filled with soaring white doves and tall ship masts. Sutton's fluid, expressive linework gives the scene a dreamy, almost watercolor softness that feels perfectly suited to the romance genre. With the story "I'd Do Anything" waiting inside, this issue captures that sweet, yearning spirit that made Charlton's romance line a staple of the era.
