Secret Romance #9

Charlton's Secret Romance #9 brings the glamour of a movie set to its romance anthology in this 1970 issue. The cover by Charles Nicholas places a dark-haired young woman in a floral lei and tropical wrap in the arms of a handsome, confident man, while film crew and a large camera roll in the background — teasing a story billed as "The World Is Mine" about a girl whose dreams reach beyond the stars. Don Sherwood handles the interior art, inking, and lettering throughout, making this a showcase of mid-century romance comics craftsmanship at its most heartfelt.
