Teen Confessions #41

This November 1966 Charlton romance issue wears its bittersweet heart right on its cover — a beachside scene where a young man leans toward a dark-haired girl in a green swimsuit near a lighthouse, while in the foreground a dreamy blonde reclines lost in memory, the cover copy lamenting "Summer is past… and with its passing my love is gone!" The featured story, "A Kiss to Dream On," promises exactly the kind of tender, aching romance Teen Confessions delivered so well to its devoted readership. Cover art by Dick Giordano and Pat Masulli gives the seaside scene a warm, sun-soaked glow, and Joe Gill's writing ensures the heartfelt drama inside lives up to every bit of that wistful promise.
