Teen-Age Love #92

Charlton's Teen-Age Love #92 (April 1973) captures the romantic anxieties of the era with a cover by Sal Gentile that puts a wide-eyed, dark-haired young woman front and center, her expression caught somewhere between hope and uncertainty. Ghosted behind her are the shadowy figures of a young man and woman — romantic rivals, perhaps — while a banner across the bottom teases the story "East Siders vs. West Siders: Double Trouble." As a bonus, the issue also includes a free poster of Brian Forster, making this a nicely packed package for teen readers of 1973.
