First Kiss

About the series
Across nearly a decade and forty issues, Charlton’s First Kiss (1957–1965) was a staple of the romance-comics aisle, exploring the butterflies, heartbreaks, and sweet triumphs of young love. The series was most frequently written by Joe Gill, whose scripts were brought to life by a rotating roster of artists including Charles Nicholas, Hal Grauer, and Joe Sinnott, giving each story a distinct visual charm. While often overlooked today, the title captures the earnest, post-war sensibility of teen romance comics, offering a time capsule of the genre’s heyday before the industry shifted toward superheroes.
