Star Love Stories #459
"Lonely No More" in Star Love Stories #459 (1972) follows Ellie, a resourceful and independent young woman who’s never stayed put long enough to call a place home. With skills ranging from fixing engines to tending to injuries, she arrives at a Canadian lumber camp, taking on the role of stable boy—a surprising choice that unsettles the boss, but not her. The story unfolds with quiet intensity, drawn with precision by José Claperas Corominas, whose art captures the rugged isolation and quiet resilience of Ellie’s journey. The cover, by Ángel Badía Camps, reflects the mood with a striking, evocative image that hints at the emotional core of the tale.

Ellie had been on her own since she was fifteen. She never stayed in one place long enough to grow fond of it, never had too many possessions. She could break in horses, drive trucks, take an engine to pieces, set a broken leg..., and knew she wouldn't be popular with the boss of the lumber camp in Canada when the head office hired her to be the new stable boy.
