Romantic Story #100

Charlton Comics marks issue #100 of Romantic Story with a cover by José Luis García-López that cleverly splits its visual storytelling in two: above, a dark-haired young woman named Francesca stands beside Neil as he appears today — bearded and brooding against a lush tropical backdrop — while below, a dreamy montage captures Francesca's memories of him, with ghostly figures evoking their shared past. The teaser "Change For Me, Darling…" hints at a romance complicated by time and transformation, making this 1969 milestone feel genuinely compelling. Interior art by Charles Nicholas, inked by Vince Colletta, promises the heartfelt drama that kept readers returning to this long-running romance title.
