Romantic Story #114

Charlton's Romantic Story #114 brings the drama with a sun-drenched cover by penciler Art Cappello and inker Sal Gentile, featuring a defiant blonde in a bikini top standing arms-crossed before a brooding young man, while a red-haired woman looks on with quiet disbelief in the background. The speech bubbles crackle with tension — someone is being called a "weirdo" unfit to be around kids, and the redhead is described as "tearing poor Tim apart" over him. Promising "All New Stories & Art," this 1971 Charlton gem includes "Humpty Dumpty Heart" and "Married in Haste," with interior work by writer Joe Gill and artist Antonio Colmeiro — perfect for fans of the era's heartfelt romance comics.
