Romantic Story #119

Charlton's Romantic Story #119 from 1972 delivers the heartfelt drama the series was known for, with a cover by Art Cappello that pulls you in immediately. A tearful blonde woman dominates the foreground, her hand pressed to her cheek, while a thought bubble above her depicts a tender — or tense — embrace between her and a dark-haired man, accompanied by the pointed question: "What kind of beast is Mr. Lewis?! First he fires me as his secretary… then he kisses me!!" The featured story "A New Me" promises emotional upheaval for a character named Claire, and as a bonus, there's a free pin-up poster of Shirley Jones tucked inside.
