Written by Jack Oleck and brought to life with expressive art by Art Saaf and inks by Vince Colletta, the story follows Julie as she leads a campus protest, taking over a building to demand change—while Ken, caught between ideals and growing feelings, watches from the sidelines. The cover, drawn entirely by Bill Draut, captures the charged atmosphere of the moment with striking clarity.
