Sweethearts #108

Charlton's long-running romance anthology returns with issue #108, promising "A Smashed-Up Heart" and a "Surprise Twist" in the featured story "My Kissin' Cousin." The cover pulls you right into the drama: a blonde woman in an orange pantsuit shares a close kiss with a suited man while two envious onlookers — one in pink, one in a bold patterned dress — watch with barely concealed amazement, a speech bubble capturing their disbelief that the bashful wallflower landed "the yummiest man in town." With writing by Joe Gill and that vivid early-1970s color palette, this 15-cent issue delivers the kind of romantic tension and social surprise that made Charlton's romance line such a guilty pleasure in 1970.
