Romantic Story #109

Charlton's Romantic Story #109 brings the emotional push-and-pull of 1970 romance comics to vivid life, with Pete Morisi and Vince Alascia's cover art presenting a young blonde woman in a striped top — guitar player nearby — declaring "This is the way to go!" while a pensive young man looks on. A second inset scene, framed in a lacy heart, hints at a more troubled moment with the teaser "Marion knows how to avoid heartbreak — but will she?" It's a warm, visually busy cover that captures the era's heartfelt melodrama with genuine charm.
