Teen-Age Romances was an American romance comic series produced by St. John Publications. Each issue was a series of one-shot stories involving a wide cast of characters. The first three issues began with a standard format of five stories each, and then it branched out to various larger numbers.

Publication history

Teen-Age Romances, one of a late-1940s spate of romance comics,[1] ran 45 issues, cover-dated January 1949 to December 1955.[2] Released by St. John Publications, with at least two issues published under that publisher's Approved Comics imprint,[2] it included among its artists Lily Renée and Matt Baker. Many stories were written by Dana Dutch.

Issues #4-8 (Aug. 1949 - Feb. 1950) carried photographic covers, and issues #26-30 (Nov. 1952 - March 1953) used painted covers, rather than standard penciled-and-inked drawn covers.[2]
