Teen Confessions #3

This January 1960 Charlton romance title delivers the kind of dramatic teen-angst storytelling the genre did so well, with a cover by Joe Sinnott (pencils) and Vince Colletta (inks) laid out in vivid comic-strip panels. The cover tells a tense, interconnected story: a young woman and a distressed young man confronted by a police officer, a red hot rod squealing away in the background, another scene outside a police station, and a close emotional moment between two teens — all building to the bold headline "Bad Girl!" and a teaser promising the whole town is talking about Jean Collins. For a dime, readers also got the promise of free prizes inside, making this issue a complete package of mid-century teen drama.
