Secret Romance #13

Charlton's Secret Romance #13 from 1971 captures the emotional intensity of the romance genre in one charged cover scene: a dark-haired young woman presses tearfully against a door, thinking "How could she? …My own sister…," while just beyond it a young man clasps the hands of a blonde woman, telling her they're "two of a kind." The cover art by Art Cappello (inked by Joe Sinnott) frames this triangle of longing and heartbreak with real dramatic flair, drawing you straight into the anguish of the moment. Inside, all-new stories and art — including "All or Nothing" with artwork by Nicholas Zann and Vince Alascia — promise the kind of emotionally tangled tales that made Charlton's romance titles a staple of early '70s comics.
