    Cover by Matt Baker. Stories and art by Matt Baker, Warren King, Chuck Miller and Dana Dutch. Torrid tales of romance from St. John, with great covers by Matt Baker. Nancy gets a chance at stardom, but she's not sure she wants to compromise, in a story with art by celebrated good-girl artist Matt Baker. College librarian Arlene is flattered that star athlete Tommy asks her out, so she postpones with steady Steve, but does Tommy have ulterior motives? Cynthia tries to shake a reputation for being "boy-crazy." Plus the "Correspondence Club" page tries to find love for men (and women) stationed overseas. Risque cover by Baker seems very modern. Men Offered Me Stardom If I Would Pay Their Price; I Was a Victim of Deceit; The Navy Was My Target; And Now I'm in Trouble Because I Couldn't Control My Desires; Correspondence Club; I Was Too Free with Boys. Final issue of the series. 32 pages, Full Color. Cover price $0.10.
