Marty #18 March 1961
In "It's the Wrong Time, and the Wrong Place...", Jenny Watson's move from her quiet village to a job at Harper's Department Store opens a door to a world of polished elegance and unexpected allure. With a new look and a hopeful heart, she finds herself drawn to the charming Vic in personnel—only to wonder if he truly sees her, or if she’s stepping into a moment that’s just out of sync. Art by Shirley Bellwood brings the story’s delicate blend of charm and quiet tension to life in this 1961 British comic, a 5d gem from Pearson.
