Teen Confessions #65

This December 1970 Charlton romance title wears its astrology-obsessed heart right on its sleeve, with cover art by Don Sherwood depicting a tearful young woman resting among flowers, her longing thought bubble asking "Why must it always rain on my dreams of love? Will I EVER meet an Aries man?" — while zodiac symbols swirl around her dreaming face and a rainy scene of two figures plays out in the background above. The story title "Sagittarius in Search of Aries" captures that very relatable ache of hoping the stars will align for love. A charming snapshot of early-'70s teen romance comics, when horoscopes and heartbreak made for irresistible reading.
