"Party Girl" kicks off in First Love Illustrated #1 (1949), a standout early tale from Harvey Comics featuring a heartfelt twist on young love and sacrifice. Written and drawn entirely by Tom Gill, the story follows Linda as she leaves nursing school to confront her boyfriend Danny’s sudden engagement—only to be swept into a dramatic rescue where her medical training saves lives, including Danny’s and the enigmatic Raven’s. The cover, also by Tom Gill, captures the moment’s tension with striking clarity.
