Sweethearts #132

Charlton's Sweethearts #132 serves up a sharp slice of early-1970s romance drama, with cover art by Frank Bolle capturing a telling love triangle in three vivid vignettes — a man absorbed in his work, a stylish couple at a social gathering, and front and center, a close romantic moment between Gail and Dennis as she whispers "Kiss me!" while privately thinking, "The poor fool doesn't even suspect that I'm just using him to further my own career." It's a wonderfully tangled setup that makes "A Real Career" feel like anything but a simple love story. Interior art by Charles Nicholas and Vince Alascia rounds out what promises to be a satisfyingly complicated read for romance fans of 1973.
