Teen Confessions #45

This July 1967 Charlton romance issue features a sun-drenched underwater cover by Dick Giordano, depicting a young couple — a blonde woman in a black swimsuit and a young man in swim trunks — caught in an intimate, swirling embrace beneath the waves, with small fish drifting past and the story title "Stolen Kisses" announced right on the cover. The dreamy aquatic setting perfectly captures the breezy, emotional intensity that made Charlton's romance line so appealing to teen readers of the era. With interior work by writer Joe Gill and artist/inker Vince Colletta, Teen Confessions #45 delivers the heartfelt drama promised by its cover.
