    Photo cover by Willinger/ Shostal. Stories and art by Matt Baker, Warren Kremer, Dana Dutch, and A. F. Sogio. Tales of teen angst and amour. These oversized issues include content typical of a teen girls' magazine, alongside comics stories by the likes of celebrated good-girl artist Matt Baker. Beauty-contest winner Wilma faces disappointment when she learns what Hollywood is really like, in a story with art by Baker. In another Matt Baker story, rumors start to spread after Hazel is caught on a boat far from shore with Bob. Another Baker story features a farm girl finding love, in a story told in captions, Prince Valiant-style, without word balloons. Plus a Fumetti-style story told using black and white photographs. And fashion advice and music reviews from the dawn of the teenager era, 1949. Come-On Girl; I Was a Hollywood Cinderella; My One Little Mistake; Love Is Born; Rival in Love; Platter Chatter; Brushes to Beauty. 7 1/2-in. x 11-in., 48 pages, PC/PB&W. Cover price $0.10.
