Sweethearts #56

A moonlit beach sets the scene for romance on this October 1960 Charlton gem, as a young couple — she in a striped swimsuit, he in a bold red-and-black striped shirt — share a tender kiss against a glowing full moon over the water. The cover teases the story "Kisses and Smiles" with just enough heartfelt longing to pull you right in, while cover inks by Vince Colletta give the whole image a warm, polished glow. Inside, writer Joe Gill and artist Joe Sinnott bring "Accent on Love" to life — a perfect ten-cent escape into the sweeter side of mid-century romance.
