In "None Are So Blind," a 1952 gem from My Own Romance, Jane’s quiet insecurities take center stage as she grapples with self-perception and the illusion of glamour. With art by Bernie Krigstein and inks by Sol Brodsky, the story unfolds with emotional honesty, spotlighting a moment of clarity when Jane’s mother’s old friend, movie star Gloria de Carlo, visits in person—revealing a truth far removed from the screen. The cover by Al Hartley captures the era’s romantic idealism, while the interior art brings a rare depth to a romance comic of its time.
