Teen Confessions #76

Charlton's long-running romance anthology returns with issue #76, its cover by Tony Tallarico radiating pure early-'70s warmth — a young couple nestled together inside a glowing pink heart, surrounded by lush psychedelic florals, with the tagline "boys & girls in love" setting the mood perfectly. The pink-and-green palette and mod lettering give the whole thing an irresistible period charm, and a heart-shaped inset touts a free "Mod" Bobby Sherman feature as a bonus treat for fans. With Joe Gill writing and Don Perlin handling art, inking, and lettering on "Please Love Me," this is a solid slice of teen romance storytelling from one of the era's most prolific creative pairings.
