“The Duane Girl”

Charlton's long-running romance anthology returns with issue #42, its cover by Art Cappello depicting a tender, intimate moment — a dark-haired young man leaning in to kiss a golden-haired woman reclining among pink roses, their closeness charged with quiet emotion. The "All New" banner promises fresh heartfelt stories inside, including "The Duane Girl" with art by Wayne Howard, alongside a bonus Find-a-Word puzzle page that invites readers to grab a pencil and linger a little longer. For fans of 1979 romance comics, this is a warm, earnest package that delivers both swooning cover appeal and engaging interior content.
