Sweethearts #118

Charlton's Sweethearts #118 serves up a deliciously dramatic September 1971 cover by Art Cappello, dominated by a self-assured blonde woman wearing a pearl necklace whose thought bubble spells out the tension perfectly: "You won't have him long, Martha… they all love me!" In the background, a happy couple — presumably Martha and her beau — share a moment, blissfully unaware of the rivalry simmering just out of frame. With all-new stories and art inside, including "If You Love Me…" with interior work by Leandro Sesarego, this issue captures the romantic intrigue and emotional stakes that made Charlton's romance line so appealing to readers of the era.
