Cover by Dick Giordano. Stories and art by Charles Nicholas, Vince Alascia, and Sal Trapani. Sweethearts was Charlton's continuation of the first monthly romance title, lasting from the romance boom of the '50s until the early '70s. Nancy dreams so much of the mythical "Mr. Right" her mother told her about, she ignores handsome Dale and his entreaties to dinner and date. College student Emily is on cloud nine dating handsome jock Larry, and hardly notices that her old friend Paul (who looks exactly like '50s-era Clark Kent) is smitten with her. Mary judges every guy she dates by how well he'll make a future husband and father, which kind of spoils the mood.
