Teen Confessions #6

This July 1960 Charlton romance entry captures all the heartfelt drama the genre does best, with cover art penciled by Joe Sinnott and inked by Vince Colletta. The cover unfolds in a triptych of emotion: a young blonde woman gazes longingly at a photograph, a passionate kiss between a couple plays out center stage, and a tearful close-up of another blonde rounds out the scene — all tied together by the featured story caption "The Man Next Door," whose speech bubble confesses, "He is not too old for me! No matter what they say, I love him...with all my heart!" As a bonus, a Transogram sweepstakes splashed across the bottom offered readers the chance to win a real live pony — a delightful reminder of just how lively comics culture was in 1960.
