Time for Love #24

Charlton's romance anthology returns with issue #24, and Art Cappello's cover sets a tender, bittersweet tone — a young blonde woman in a green dress embraces a man in a U.S. Army uniform who sits in a wheelchair, roses blooming nearby as a full moon rises behind them. The cover copy — "He needed love so I gave him my kisses… I never meant to give him my heart! 'I Always Cry When I'm Happy'" — promises exactly the kind of emotionally charged storytelling that made 1971 romance comics so compelling. A heartfelt addition to any collection of the era's most earnest comics.
