High School Confidential Diary #5

Romance and teenage drama take center stage in this 1961 Charlton gem, with cover art penciled by Joe Sinnott and inked by Vince Colletta depicting a breathless moonlit kiss between a young couple beneath a glowing street lamp — while a diary entry below confesses the thrill of meeting a mysterious boy named Hank. The cover promises stories of "Hit and Run," "Teacher's Pet," and "Stolen Love," plus advice from Dr. Gluck in "Canteen Corner" and a teen etiquette feature, making this an appealingly packed issue. For fans of mid-century romance comics, the earnest emotion on display here — labeled "Boy Crazy" right on the cover — captures exactly the heartfelt, diary-style storytelling that made Charlton's romance line so endearing.
