Johnny Desmond
8 pp · Romance

When a show business romance hits the rocks, Johnny Desmond—a famous singing star—decides to teach a jealous publicity man a lesson he won't forget. Johnny coaches the man's heartbroken girlfriend, Gale, with the plan to make him jealous enough to see what he's throwing away, but a scheme meant to bring them closer together spirals into genuine danger when sabotaged directions lead to a desperate lake rescue that changes everything. Doug Wildey's pencils and inks bring this 1953 tale of misguided matchmaking and second chances to life across eight pages of pure romantic drama.

Once Upon a Time
7 pp · Romance
Blind Love
6 pp · Romance

A cigarette girl at Club Samba gets swept up in Paul Hadley's charm—and his increasingly risky schemes to move stolen goods, then counterfeit perfume. Blinded by love and the promise of marriage, she ignores her own doubts and dives deeper into crime, only to discover that the life she's been building comes at a cost far steeper than she imagined.

Flight to Happiness
7 pp · Romance

A young woman's fear nearly costs her everything when her husband takes to the skies, and she must confront the doubts that have driven a wedge between them. As Dick executes a harrowing landing, she realizes that her anxieties have robbed her of the trust their marriage needs to survive. In Stephen Kirkel's seven-page story, a couple discovers that sometimes the greatest journey isn't through the air—it's toward understanding each other.
