Serenade #13
In "Crying for the Moon," Brenda’s birthday plans spiral into chaos—burnt cakes, broken glasses, a flooded floor—until a mysterious man claiming to be deaf and dumb knocks at her door. Giving him her last five shillings, a gesture of Piscean generosity, she soon suspects he’s a fraud, leading her to cross paths with Trevor, a Cancer-born stranger whose presence feels strangely fated. Written by Maurice Woodruff and illustrated by Frank Jarvis, with inks by Jarvis, this 1962 Fleetway tale blends quiet domestic mishaps with a touch of celestial intrigue, all on a 6d cover.

Brenda is planning for her birthday party, but everything goes wrong. She burned her cakes, broke her glasses and flooded the floor by letting the bath run too long. When a man with a sign saying he was deaf and dumb comes to the door, she gives him her last five shillings (as Pisceans are naturally generous types). But she hears him talking to another con-man later and tries to catch him. Instead she runs into Trevor, who was born under the sign of Cancer. And Pisces and Cancer subjects are drawn to each other as if they were meant for each other.
