All for Love #1 [7]
In "Love for Granted," a 1958 Prize comic, acting student Gloria’s sharp tongue and cruel streak mask a deeper yearning—especially for Julian, Ralph’s uninterested roommate. When her bullying pushes Ralph to the brink of losing a scholarship, Gloria makes a quiet, personal sacrifice that upends everything, forcing both Ralph and Julian to confront their own choices. George Klein handles the art and inks, while Artie Simek lettered the story; Joe Orlando’s cover captures the emotional tension with striking precision.

Acting student Gloria bullies the other students, including Ralph, but her “pretty face” allows her to get away with it. Gloria is attracted to Ralph’s roommate Julian, but he isn’t interested. Gloria pushes Ralph and injures him, which may cost Ralph the chance for a scholarship. Gloria decides to throw the competition so Ralph can win, even though that means she has to go home and marry her father’s assistant. However, Ralph decides he doesn’t want to act any more. Gloria wins the contest and Julian, learning what she planned to do for Ralph, decides he loves her after all.
