Teen-Age Love #61

Charlton's Teen-Age Love #61 captures the late-1960s romance mood perfectly, with a bearded, brightly dressed young guitarist strumming front and center — surrounded by a shower of red hearts — while a swooning blonde lies at his feet and a couple shares a tender moment in the background. The cover, penciled by Bill Fraccio and inked by Tony Tallarico, introduces readers to "Jonnie Love," billed right on the cover as a guy with "a way with a guitar and with girls." This 1968 Charlton gem also teases the "new Teen Swinger" feature, making it a wonderfully groovy snapshot of pop-romance comics at their most colorful.
