The Mad House Glads #82
In "Experience Teaches," Fran sets out on a bike ride to visit Dan and Dippy, only to be left behind when they refuse to give her a ride back—until a sudden storm and a fallen tree leave her stranded, forcing them to confront their choices. Written by Dick Malmgren and brought to life with expressive art by Gus Lemoine, inks by Joe Sinnott, and vibrant colors by Barry Grossman, this 1972 story captures a quiet moment of growing up. The cover, by Stan Goldberg and Jon D'Agostino, hints at the day's events with a familiar, heartfelt scene.
