Tippy Teen (1965) comic books 1968

Designed and drawn by Archie Comics veterans, including Jughead's Samm Schwartz, Tippy is Tower's entry into the world of timeless teen comedy. Tommy's in trouble after he accidentally gives Tippy his Christmas gift for Peggy, and tries to get it back before she sees it. Tommy loses his cool when he sees Tippy being wooed by silver-tongued poet Oliver.

Plus reader-submitted fashion designs and advice for teens on fashion, dating and parties, some hilariously dated. Speaking of which, this is the first cover to include the tortured blurb "America's Swingiest Teener."
