TEEN LOVE STORIES "I'll Be Yours, My Love"

A 1960s romance comic story, but not from a romance comic...

 ...but from a teen romance magazine, published in 1967!

Jim Warren, who built up a publishing business in the early 1960s with titles like Famous Monsters of Filmland, Screen Thrills, Help!, and Monster World, got into comics publishing with a diverse line of b/w magazines (to avoid the restrictions of the Comics Code that controlled editorial content of color comics) including Creepy, Eerie, Blazing Combat, and Teen Love Stories.

To maximize the potential audience for the romance title, it was designed to appear similar to teen mags of the era like Tiger Beat and 16, which it was racked with...

...and, besides comic strips, it included text features, quizzes...

...and even anti-smoking ads!

(illustrated by the legendary Frank Frazetta, no less!)

Of all the Warren Publishing comic magazines, Teen Love Stories was the shortest-lived at only three issues, all of which are very hard-to-find!

TEEN LOVE STORIES "Just Her Luck" Conclusion

When Last We Left Our Heartbroken Heroine...

..."Another Big Romantic Picture-Story That'll Make You Cry!"?

After purchasing the 2,000th copy of the 2,000th edition of "Escort Magazine", Marion Hill wins a unique prize...24 hours with one of England's most eligible bachelors, best-selling author and man-about-town Aubrey Baron!

Meeting with the handsome and debonair Baron and learning the entire day has been choreographed to provide photo opportunities for the magazine's photographers, Marion, despite being intensely attracted to the attractive writer, intended to remain calm, cool and collected.
That didn't last long, as Aubrey all but swept her off her feet during a day-long whirlwind of shopping and carousing, topped off with a romantic dinner!
The date was everything Marion could dream of...until midnight, when Aubrey suddenly announced the 24 hours were up, and went from warm and affectionate to cold and aloof!

This tale appeared in the second issue of the short-lived 1960s magazine Teen Love Stories (not a comic book, as explained HERE) and was a reprint of a British romance strip that first appeared in Fleetway's Love Story Picture Library #584 (1966).

Of all the ongoing Warren Publishing b/w periodicals (including Creepy, Vampirella, and 1984), Teen Love Stories was the shortest-lived at only three issues, all of which are very hard-to-find!

You'll Cry Your Eyes Out if You Miss It!

(I suspect the cover art was previously-used elsewhere since it doesn't relate to the story, not do the characters like like the characters in the comic!)
