Teen-Age Love #36

Charlton's Teen-Age Love #36 wears its heart right on its cover, courtesy of Dick Giordano's expressive linework: a young woman in the foreground gazes wistfully into the distance, caught between two competing romances playing out behind her — one suitor named Paul offering flowers beneath a tree, another named Dick drawing his girl close in a tender embrace. That caption says it all: "I can't… I just can't choose between them!" — and the featured story "Torn Between Two Loves" promises exactly the kind of heartfelt romantic drama that made Charlton's romance titles such a reliable guilty pleasure in 1964.
