Amorous Education TEEN-AGE CONFIDENTIAL CONFESSIONS "Come Back to Me"

This is the story of cute girl Laurie and and star athlete Frank!

Sound like the perfect couple, eh?

What could possibly go wrong?
(If you have to ask that, you're reading the wrong blog!)

The redemptive power of True Love, courtesy of writer Joe Gill, penciler Sal Gentile, and inker Dick Giordano in a never-reprinted tale from Charlton's Teen-Age Confidential Confessions #22 (1964).

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!

Amorous Education TIPPY TEEN "Volley Folly"

We've talked about students having crushes on teachers...

...but sometimes it can get waaaaay out of hand!

BTW, note how the colorist didn't follow the description of the gym teacher's hair...

The script from this never-reprinted tale from Tower's Tippy Teen #2 (1966) is a re-use of a previous script for Quality's Candy #37 (1953) by the same writer, Jack Mendelsohn!
(Even the one-shot gym teacher's name is the same in both stories!)
