Teen-Age Love #49

This September 1966 Charlton romance captures the breathless anticipation of a school dance, with a red-haired young woman in a yellow dress dancing close with her date while musical notes float through the air around them. A dreamy thought-bubble overhead — rendered in soft blues by cover artist Dick Giordano — shows the couple in an intimate almost-kiss, framing her inner question perfectly: "Will He Kiss Me?" With Joe Gill writing and Art Cappello and Vince Colletta bringing the interior art to life, Teen-Age Love #49 delivers that warm, fluttery feeling of a last slow dance and a heart full of hopeful wondering.
