About the series
Over five issues from 1982 to 1983, Charlton Comics offered Soap Opera Romances, a short-lived series anchored by the reliable scripting of Joe Gill and the clean, classic art of Charles Nicholas and John Tartaglione. Centered on the professional and romantic entanglements of Nurse Betsy Crane, the title delivered a compact dose of melodrama and heartfelt storytelling typical of the era’s romance comics. While brief, it stands as a modest but sincere example of Charlton’s later foray into character-driven serialized romance.
