Teen-Age Love #76

This May 1971 Charlton romance title pulls you straight into the bittersweet world of young hearts with a cover by José Luis García-López that captures two emotional vignettes at once: a helmeted rider and his female passenger speeding away on a vivid red motorcycle, while in the foreground a tearful young woman and a dark-haired young man share an anguished moment. The cover copy identifies the motorcycle couple as Johnnie and Linda, teasing a story of fleeting connection and dramatic departure in "Stranger in the Night." With all-new stories and art promised inside — including "Only the Lovely Are Loved" — this is a heartfelt snapshot of early-'70s teen romance comics at their most emotionally charged.
