Secret Romance #41

Charlton's Secret Romance #41 (November 1976) brings an "All New" chapter of heartfelt drama to the romance anthology, with cover art penciled and inked by Frank Bolle. The cover sets a sun-warmed, intimate mood — a shirtless young man leans tenderly over a blonde woman in a bikini as they rest together on rocky ground near a waterfall, the lush scenery adding a sense of stolen escape. Inside, Charles Nicholas and Vince Alascia illustrate the stories, including the evocatively titled "Forbidden Ground," and there's even a Find-a-Word puzzle page to round out the issue — no dictionary needed, just grab a pencil!
