Divorce, American-Style BRIDES IN LOVE "Day of Divorce!"

June is the Month for Weddings, Right?

Art by Dick Giordano

Not here, it ain't!

According to myth, marrying between June 1st and June 20th would lead to everlasting love, since the Roman goddess Juno (Queen of the Gods) celebrated her festival during this time!
Normally, we'd do happy wedding tales in June.
But this year, we're feeling cranky and contrary!
So, let the never-reprinted recriminations begin...

Will other stories this month end as happily as this one by writer Joe Gill, penciler Joe Sinnott, and inker Vince Colletta from Charlton's Brides in Love #36 (1963)?

You really believe we're going to tell you?

Not with three more posts about divorce from the 40s to the 70s to go this month!

Swinging '70s Stories JUST MARRIED "Why am I Here?"

This Month, We're Taking Romance Stories from Different Publishers...

...with one unifying aspect: the fact they're from the 1970s, the twilight of the genre!

This never-reprinted tale from Charlton's Just Married #74 (1970), written by Joe Gill and illustrated by Jose Luis Garcia-Lopez, takes the "misunderstanding the situation because of lack of information" trope to a new level.
Only the superb artwork makes the silly plotline tolerable!
