Love Journal #15

In "Love Vampire!", Bess finds herself caught between her stubborn devotion to the charming but fickle Ben and the unexpected charm of Chet, the boy her parents set her up with. Written by Bill Woolfolk and brought to life with expressive art by John Buscema—both pencils and inks—this 1952 issue captures the quiet tension of teenage longing with a twist that turns expectations upside down. The cover, also by John Buscema, perfectly frames the moment of revelation, making this a standout in the series.
