ROMANTIC STORY "Once Burned..."

When you want to teach a wayward boyfriend a lesson...
...it's not a good idea to use a "bad boy" to do it!
The art for this tale from Charlton's Romantic Story #88 (1967) is by Nestor Olivera, an Argentine war comics artist who, oddly, did mostly romance stories for Charlton!
Next week:
The Return of Reach for Happiness...
You'll Cry Your Eyes Out if You Miss It!
(Things are really getting juicy...)

ADVENTURES IN ROMANCE "September Squall"

With autumn right around the corner...
...here's a tale for the final weekend of warm weather that really fits the concept of a "beach read'!
You'll note a couple of two-page spreads at the beginning of the story.
This particular comic series, St John's Adventures in Romance #1 (1949), experimented with doing double-page spreads to establish a distinctive "look".
Sadly, it only lasted two issues.  ;-(
Artist Warren King spent several years in comic books doing everything from superheroes to horror to romance, before moving into newspaper cartooning, becoming the in-house editorial artist at the NY Daily News and winning the National Cartoonists Society Best Editorial Cartoonist Award in 1968.
Next week:
We haven't decided yet what it'll be, but we can guarantee that...
You'll Cry Your Eyes Out if You Miss It!
(Oh, you've heard that, eh?)

And now a word from out sponsor...
You can own a kool komic collectible
(t-shirt, mug, tote bag, etc.)
 embellished with the cover art from this week's torrid tale...
