CharltonÕs Sweethearts comic series was a thrilling and lurid entry in the romance
comic genre. Tales of love, longing, betrayal and desire abound. It set the standard
for romance comics. Sweethearts was originally published by Fawcett Comics and
started with issue #68, picking up the numbering from where Captain Midnight
ended. It has the notoriety of being the first romance comic published monthly. In
1954 Fawcett stopped publishing comics and Charlton picked up the title and some
of the left over inventory stories. The first issue of the Charlton run was #122,
where the Fawcett numbering had ended, then switched to number 23 the
following issue. This volume collects Sweethearts #57-63
