Pictorial Romances #7
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis anthology issue contains at least two romantic stories. "I Tempted The Wrong Boy!" follows a woman who deliberately pursues a rough, popular boy as a game to feel alive, only to be caught up in dangerous street gang activities when she learns he and his gang plan to confront another group. A separate story depicts a young woman named Jane who, after harsh words from her mother about staying home and being lonely, impulsively leaves to find work in the city as a secretary at an advertising agency. The visible pages also include a story featuring childhood friends Terry and Brad, where Terry harbors unresolved feelings after being replaced by others in their social circle years earlier.
Jo, tired of her cautious life, ditches her steady boyfriend Tim for the thrill-seeking world of George Nolan, a man whose generosity feels too good to be true. As she climbs the ladder of his world—earning a high salary, chasing luxury, and distancing herself from old friends—her choices begin to strain her relationships and blur her sense of self.
Jo, a girl with a daring streak, finds herself drawn to Lenny Carlson after mocking his reputation as a "whistle-bait" at a local hangout. As she boldly pursues him—first calling him, then cornering him at a party and later inviting him to her home—her playful game begins to stir unexpected feelings, blurring the line between mischief and romance.
Jo, a girl popular with everyone but never asked on a date, grows desperate after being left alone at the ice rink while her friend Doris is scooped up by a boy she’d longed for. After faking a cold to avoid confronting her loneliness, she’s baffled when her doctor’s prescription—revealed to be a humorous diagnosis of needing a boyfriend—only deepens her confusion. Determined to solve the mystery, she takes a bus to a nearby town, where she unexpectedly runs into a boy she knows, setting off a chain of events that forces her to confront what she truly wants.
