Sweet Sixteen

Over its 13-issue run from 1946 to 1948, Parents' Magazine Press's Sweet Sixteen offered wholesome, girl-next-door adventures aimed at young readers navigating the post-war era. Writers Mary Sellars and Ocella Ratliff, alongside artists like Vic Herman and Charles Raab, crafted lighthearted stories of school, friendship, and family life. A charming but short-lived title from the dawn of teen-focused comics, it captured the optimistic, innocent spirit of its time.
