History

Teen Angels was founded in 1972 by Jack Tinker and his wife Lynn. The first issue was released in February of that year and featured a young Donny Osmond on the cover. The Tinkers' aim was to create a magazine that would appeal to a new generation of young women who were interested in pop culture icons.

Over the years, Teen Angels grew in popularity and became a major force in the teen magazine industry. The magazine's readership peaked in the mid-1970s, with circulation reaching over a million at its height.

In 1983, Teen Angels was sold to editor-in-chief Jack Morris, who introduced a revamped version of the magazine aimed at a more mature audience. However, the new format failed to capture the attention of the magazine's core readership, and in 1995, the print version of the magazine was discontinued.

Teen Angels' content was largely focused on music and entertainment, featuring interviews with popular bands and musicians, as well as articles on the latest fashion trends and styles.

The magazine was also known for its coverage of teen heartthrobs, featuring pin-up posters and interviews with popular teen idols like Shaun Cassidy and David Cassidy.

Teen Angels also published a number of special issues throughout its run, including year-end review issues and special holiday issues.

Impact and Legacy

Teen Angels was a major force in the teen magazine industry for over two decades, shaping the tastes and attitudes of generations of young women. The magazine's focus on music and entertainment helped to set it apart from other publications of its time, and it paved the way for later magazines like Tiger Beat and BOP.

In addition to its impact on the publishing industry, Teen Angels also helped to launch the careers of many young musicians and actors, featuring them on the cover of the magazine and promoting their work to its readership.
