Sweetheart Diary #48

Charlton's Sweetheart Diary #48 from September 1959 packs three story teasers onto one vivid cover, with vignettes previewing "A Woman Scorned" — a glamorous blonde facing a man's silhouette — and "Love on the 8:15," depicting women boarding a train alongside a pair of suited men, all framing a close, tender moment between a dark-haired woman and a smiling young man in the foreground. The title "The Man I Didn't Marry" rounds out the romantic drama on display, rendered in Vince Colletta's clean, expressive linework. As a bonus, a splashy contest at the bottom offers readers a chance to win a regulation Buster Crabbe swimming pool — a delightfully of-its-era incentive to pick up this ten-cent slice of 1950s romance comics.
