Sweethearts #89

Charlton's Sweethearts #89 captures the tangled emotions of mid-1960s romance on a cover penciled by Pat Masulli and inked by Dick Giordano, where a wide-eyed young woman in a blue striped dress looks on anxiously as a man in a brown suit introduces himself at the door to another young woman — speech bubbles reveal his name is Roger Mills and that the onlooker is wrestling with her feelings. The teaser copy up top confesses "my game of hearts had finally caught up to me," perfectly setting the emotional stakes for the featured story, "Boy Meets Girl," written by Joe Gill with interior art by Hal Grauer and Vince Colletta. For fans of classic romance comics, this 12-cent 1966 gem delivers heartfelt drama with all the style and charm the genre does so well.
