High School Confidential Diary #10

Charlton's teen drama series turns up the tension in this December 1961 issue, with a cover by Joe Sinnott and Vince Colletta showing a worried young woman clutching her schoolbooks as a leather-jacketed young man — his jacket emblazoned with "KING" and a tiger patch — moves in close, while onlookers watch the charged confrontation unfold. The teaser "Never Love a Tiger!" sets an ominous tone, and a second story, "Guilty," promises its own tale of forbidden feelings. For fans of early-'60s teen comics, this is a vivid snapshot of the era's anxious, dramatic energy at a dime a copy.
