Teen-Age Love #80

Charlton's Teen-Age Love #80 delivers pure early-1970s romance drama right on its cover, where a tearful blonde girl clutches a painted portrait of a dark-haired young man, her heartbreak made vivid against a bold orange background — with a speech bubble lamenting that a portrait is all Bill has left her. Cover pencils by Art Cappello and inks by Sal Gentile give the figures a lush, expressive quality that perfectly suits the emotional storytelling inside, which includes the story "Am I Just a Spare Part?" Plus, there's a free pin-up poster of David Cassidy tucked inside — a genuine 1971 bonus that made this issue an irresistible pick off the spinner rack.
