Sweethearts #133

Charlton's Sweethearts #133 captures the bittersweet tension of romantic conflict right on its cover, where a blonde woman leans close to a dark-haired man, her thought bubble confessing she wants Gary despite knowing Bob loves her — a triangle told in a single charged moment. Art Cappello's cover art draws you into that emotional push-and-pull with expressive close-up figures and the bold "Substitute Kisses" story title splashed across the scene. At just 20 cents in 1973, this issue also promises a free poster of Brian Forster inside, making it a genuinely appealing package for romance comics fans.
