Romantic Secrets #33

A carnival booth invites you to "Buy a Kiss from a Witch," and the cover of this 1961 Charlton romance title delivers on that promise — a masked woman in a yellow and black costume leans close to a smitten young man in a green jacket, while two onlooking girls in the background clearly have opinions about the whole affair. The story teased on the cover, "Behind the Mask," promises the sweet tension of falling for someone whose identity remains a mystery. With cover art penciled by Joe Sinnott and inked by Vince Colletta, Romantic Secrets #33 is a charming snapshot of early-'60s romance comics at their most playful.
