Amorous Education TEEN CONFESSIONS "Fast Cars and Faster Women"

In the mid-1970s, the TV series Happy Days was a smash hit!

So it's not surprising that some comics tried to "go retro" with 1950s-style nostalgia!

In the case of Charlton, which had a huuuuge amount of actual 1950s material it could've reprinted, they decided to do some new "period piece" stories!
Note: the cover is by Frank Bolle, who was working in comics during the 1950s doing everything...including romance comics, as shown HERE and HERE! and was active in the field 
But the story from Charlton's Teen Confessions #93 (1976) is illustrated by Demetrio Sanchez Gomez, a much younger artist.
Did Gomez capture the "feel" of the 1950s?

Judge for yourself...

IMHO, unlike the two previous stories he illustrated (HERE and HERE) which were set in the "present" (mid-1970s) and truly embody the visual aesthetic of the period, this one doesn't really fulfill it's intent, despite his obvious extensive research into the cars, fashions, and even hairstyles, of the 1950s!

ADVENTURES IN ROMANCE "It's Co-old Outside"

With a winter storm sweeping through the country...

...it's time to go skiing in a bikini!

(Tess isn't cold!

She's wearing gloves and earmuffs!)

Of course, any artist will tell you that a blank canvas is almost always white/off-white, so he/she only needs white paint for touch-up or mixing with other colors to lighten them!
So, running out of white paint is the least-likely situation an artist would experience!

This otherwise entertaining little tale from St John's Adventures in Romance #2 (1950) was illustrated by the versatile Frank Bolle, who's still active in the field today!

The scripter is unknown.
