Valentine #19 December 1964
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free"In the Mood" delivers a quiet, heartfelt moment in Valentine #19, a 6d comic from December 1964, as Jane’s plans to escape dull Crowbridge for a glamorous Christmas take an unexpected turn. With José González handling both art and inks for the story and the cover, the issue captures a tender, understated shift in perspective—when a missed train might just lead to something more meaningful than the excitement she’d hoped for.
Jane’s set on escaping dull Crowbridge for a glamorous Christmas at a big hotel with her friends, but Allan Morgan sticks to his belief that the holidays are for family—not fun. When she’s asked to lock up the shop, he keeps her late helping him pick a gift for the lonely widow, Mrs. Marks. By the time she realizes she’s missed her train, she might just be starting to wonder if staying home wasn’t such a bad idea after all.
Hank’s trying to be serious after Jan grows tired of his jokes, but the change only drives them apart. When he later meets Mary at a party—someone who’s been left because she never took life seriously—there’s a spark, but the past still lingers in the air.
