Time for Love #4

Charlton's Time for Love #4 from 1968 captures the breezy, bittersweet mood of late-'60s romance comics across a collage of sun-drenched and moonlit vignettes. The cover teases the "Runaway Bride" story with bold cover copy — "Dane Willcut is just a beach bum… but he's twice as much man as the one I left at the altar" — illustrated through multiple panels showing a blond young man and a dark-haired woman in tender, charged moments near the shore and by a late-model car. Inked by Vince Colletta, the soft linework gives every longing glance and stolen kiss just the right romantic warmth for a twelve-cent escape into matters of the heart.
