Teen Romance comics get psychedelic – part 3

Teen In 2
For the last part of this feature I’m looking at comics aimed at a slightly younger audience, your lower end of teendom or maybe even younger. The scripts are light-hearted, full of terrible gags with no suggestion of sex or drugs but maybe a bit of rock ‘n’ roll if it means featuring some of the latest good-looking boy bands. Someone should have had a word with the designer of Teen-In below, that cover line reads, ‘Throw A Comic Swinging Strip Party’!

Rock Happening comic
I only managed to find the covers for these Harvey Comics but also came across what looks like the original colour guide art for Rock Happening, look at the difference with the colours!

DC getting in a few plugs for Batman on this Scooter cover below, I seem to remember he was a Beatle-y type from Britain and all the girls wanted him.

Kookie below was more of a Mad magazine knock off, here showing the changing tastes of the youth. I also found an op-art poster ad I’d missed last time.
