Sweethearts #37

Charlton's Sweethearts #37 brings the romance with a cover by Dick Giordano that captures a dashing man in ornate military dress leaning in for a kiss with a young woman, the two framed against a vivid blue background of swirling confetti and floating orbs — pure 1957 celebration. The warmth and intimacy Giordano draws from his subjects here is genuinely lovely, the kind of close-in composition that made romance comics so compelling to their devoted readership. With Joe Gill writing and Jon D'Agostino lettering the interior, this ten-cent Charlton package delivers the "Thrilling Love Stories" its banner proudly promises.
