Time for Love #21

Charlton's Time for Love #21 brings the drama of the swinging early '70s romance scene front and center, with a young redhead pulling away from a suited man named Greg while crying out, "Let me go, Greg! You rat fink!... I saw you and Zizi flirting... all men are rotten!" — a blonde woman in red stripes looking on from the sideline, and a lively party crowd filling the background. The cover teases the featured story of Leah, billed as a "3-time loser to love" turned "Man Hater," promising the kind of emotionally charged storytelling Charlton romance fans adored. Lucho Olivera's cover linework captures that unmistakable blend of heartbreak and flair that made 15-cent romance comics an irresistible escape in 1971.
