Sweetheart Diary #43

Charlton's Sweetheart Diary #43 from September 1958 radiates the breezy charm of the era, with cover art by Dick Giordano and Vince Colletta depicting a cheerful, dark-haired young woman sprawled contentedly among open diaries and framed portraits of young men — pen in hand, clearly weighing matters of the heart. The warm polka-dot blouse, the scattered "My Diary" journals, and that ink bottle all suggest a girl with plenty of romantic stories to set down on paper. Inside, writer Joe Gill brings the drama with "How Deep My Love!" — a title that promises exactly the kind of heartfelt romance this series does so well.
