B&V Friends Double Digest Magazine #218

In "My Brother's Keeper," Josie faces a series of frustrating encounters with men who seem only interested in taking advantage of her, leading her to reconsider her expectations. She finds herself drawn to Alan M.'s quiet kindness—only to be caught off guard when his extreme restraint makes her wonder if he’s truly interested at all. Written by Frank Doyle and illustrated by Stan Goldberg, with inks by Jon D'Agostino, colors by Barry Grossman, and letters by Bill Yoshida, this story captures a moment of awkward sincerity. The cover, by Dan DeCarlo, perfectly captures the comic’s mix of charm and uncertainty.
