Romantic Secrets #46

A school hallway becomes a stage for heartache and romance on Dick Giordano's cover for this 1963 Charlton entry — a dark-haired cheerleader clutches her megaphone and looks on while a young couple in matching "C" uniforms share a kiss nearby, telling the whole story in one bittersweet glance. The featured tale, "Three Cheers for Love," promises exactly the kind of teen romance drama that made Charlton's line so appealing to readers of the era. With Joe Gill writing and Vince Colletta inking alongside Giordano's pencils and inks on the cover, this is a warm slice of early-sixties romance comics at their most earnest.
