Romantic Story #110

Charlton's Romantic Story #110 brings the emotional intensity of early 1970s romance comics to a vivid boil, with Don Sherwood's cover depicting a young dark-haired woman lost in troubled thought while a young man demands to know what's bothering her — their exchange captured in pointed speech balloons that pull you right into the drama. Above them, a swirling montage hints at jealousy, heartache, and outdoor scenes of couples and a woman caught in an emotional storm. Teasing a story about a girl who seemingly "has everything" yet may have too much freedom to find happiness, this 15-cent issue is a warm snapshot of the romantic anxieties that made Charlton's romance line so relatable to readers in 1970.
