Teen-age Romances v1 #18, 1951 - Matt Baker's artwork fills the entire issue, starting with his festive and playful cover. In the lead story, a farm girl aspires to date only city boys from a higher economic strata. "I Scorned Love" tells of a delivery boy who inadvertently meets a girl at a penthouse party, while "Deceitful" chronicles the manipulations of a pretty young redhead.
Matt Baker's drawings on all three features are comparable in skill and sensitivity. Captions and dialogue take up much of the space, but a handful of panels stand out here and there. Filling out the rest of the book is a brief two-pager (new) and a reprint from
Teen-Age Diary Secrets #4 ("I Carried Things Too Far", originally titled "I Was Tired of Being Good"). Among the new stories, "I Scorned Love" was later reprinted in
Teen-Age Romances #45. "I Played Hard-to-Get" and "Deceitful" both later appeared in
Going Steady #14. This is 18 of 42
