Romantic Story #124

Charlton's Romantic Story #124 brings early-'70s heartache and longing to life with a cover by Art Cappello that says it all at a glance — a couple locked in a tender embrace beneath swaying palms while a brooding young man in purple looks on, his thought bubble making his feelings about "Alan" perfectly clear. The story title "Whither Thou Goest…" sets a bittersweet, searching tone, and as a bonus, a free full-figure poster of Susan Dey is tucked inside. For twenty cents in 1972, this issue packed in plenty of romantic drama, with interior art by Torre Repiso rounding out the package.
