Romantic Secrets #30

This December 1960 Charlton romance issue captures an intimate, emotionally charged moment on its cover — a dark-haired young man leans tenderly toward a blonde woman in a green dress as two wine glasses rest on the table before them, the cover promising "a deeply touching, painfully moving story of true love…a love that would endure into eternity." Cover art by Joe Sinnott and Vince Colletta conveys real feeling in the couple's quiet closeness, the stone wall backdrop adding a sense of timeless warmth. Inside, Joe Gill's writing is paired with Sinnott's pencils and Colletta's inks for "Portrait Of My Love," with the cover also teasing the story "Return To Romance" — a full issue for anyone who appreciates heartfelt storytelling from the golden age of romance comics.
