Teen Confessions #70

A dark-haired young woman — pearl necklace, wide eyes, cheeks flushed — gazes upward at a brooding blond young man leaning close, and her thought bubble captures that dizzy, disbelieving rush perfectly: "This must be a dream! Bryce Colton, superstar, in love with me!" The gold star badge proclaiming "Fall of a Star" hints at the bittersweet stakes waiting inside, while her own caption acknowledges the secret she's keeping: "When he finds out who I really am, it will all be over!" Sal Gentile's cover art for this 1971 Charlton issue delivers the warm, emotional pull that made Teen Confessions such a satisfying corner of the romance comics world.
