Teen-Age Love #16

Charlton's Teen-Age Love #16 from 1960 serves up a delightfully tangled love triangle right on the cover, where a young woman caught between two eager suitors declares — via speech bubble — that letting a boy take her out doesn't automatically make him her boyfriend. Joe Sinnott's pencils and Vince Colletta's inks bring the scene to life with the era's breezy confidence, from the yellow-shirted fellow sweeping the girl into his arms to the slick-haired rival smiling knowingly in the background. A smaller vignette below teases the featured story "Lesson in Love," and a splashy "Giant Jingle Contest" sponsored by Bonomo's Turkish Taffy rounds out this cheerfully of-its-moment ten-cent package.
