    Stories and art by Matt Baker and Dana Dutch. This issue was digest-sized. Young love with a whiff of scandal, in early romance comics from St. John that featured frequent art by Matt Baker. All the stories in this issue feature Matt Baker art: Betty is more interested in horses than men, until she meets Tipton, the ranch's new trainer. Sharon's lies about her risky romantic adventures seem harmless, until her friend Donna tries to follow Sharon's example. Aspiring models and best friends Beth and Cathy compete for the attentions of handsome photographer Doug. They Said I Was a Bad Influence; My Secret Romance; Too Busy for Kisses; Pride Made Me Love-Blind; Helen Blackwell's Advice; I Tried the "Easy Way".
