Teen-Age Love #26

Charlton's Teen-Age Love #26 (1962) promises drama right on its cover, where a dark-haired young woman embraces a man while a shocked woman stands frozen in the doorway, groceries in hand — all under the loaded headline "My Sister's Husband." The cover pencils by Joe Sinnott and inks by Vince Colletta give the scene a polished, emotionally charged look that was perfectly tuned to the romance comics audience of the era. If the cover's tagline promising "one of the most provocative stories you will ever read" is any measure, the featured tale "Queen of Heartbreak" — written by Joe Gill — should deliver plenty of tangled feelings.
