I Love You #37
In "The Girl Who Hated Well," a 1961 Charlton comic, teenage love and civic drama collide when TV host Peter Abrom’s show is canceled after a clash with Mayor John Higgins—whose daughter, Elsie, works as the station manager’s secretary. When a wave of protests erupts after the show’s removal, Abrom returns on one condition: official approval to marry Elsie, setting off a chain of personal and political tensions. The story unfolds with quiet intensity, drawn with crisp precision by Joe Sinnott and inked by Vince Colletta on the cover.
