In "Pick Up the Pieces," a 1958 Harvey classic, young David, a West Point cadet under pressure to court the socially prominent Valerie Brooks, finds himself drawn instead to the quiet kindness of Jean, the humble babysitter. With heartfelt emotion and delicate art by John Sink, this poignant story explores the quiet clash between duty and desire, all rendered with the timeless charm of Al Avison’s cover and Joe Simon’s sharp inks.
