Sweethearts #116

Charlton's long-running romance anthology delivers all-new stories and art in this 1971 issue, with a cover teasing the kind of heartbreak that stops you cold on a busy sidewalk. The scene is right there in vivid detail: a dark-haired young woman in a red minidress, arms full of packages fresh from the bridal shoppe, catches her husband-to-be Craig mid-kiss with his blonde ex-flame Zizi — her wide-brimmed purple hat and close embrace making the moment impossible to miss. With interior art by Charles Nicholas and Vince Alascia, Sweethearts #116 promises the emotional drama and stylish 1970s flair that kept readers coming back to this series month after month.
