Valentine #29 August 1964
"A Matter of Moments" in Valentine #29 (August 1964) presents a quiet yet poignant drama centered on Angela and Alan, whose fragile romance unfolds against the backdrop of her father’s research firm. With art by Julian Morote, the story captures the delicate tension between desire and self-awareness, as Angela struggles to hold onto love while fearing her own fleeting nature. The emotional core lies in a single, unresolved moment—one where longing meets silence, and the weight of a lifetime of hesitation rests in a single, unspoken plea.
