Time for Love #25

A moonlit moment of almost-kissing takes center stage on this November 1971 Charlton romance issue, cover pencils and inks by David Mangiarotti, as a golden-haired young woman and a dark-haired young man lean close while a lively party scene — couples dancing beneath string lights — plays out in the background. The thought bubble "My heart will never heal because of…" hangs in the air alongside the story banner "A Kiss I Can't Forget!", promising the kind of bittersweet longing that made Charlton's romance line so compelling. Inside, Art Cappello and inker Vince Alascia bring the all-new stories to life, including "Summer of Desire," making this a satisfying slice of early-'70s romantic drama.
