Girls' Love Stories #163
"Child of Divorce" is a poignant, character-driven story from Girls' Love Stories #163, a 1971 DC comic that captures quiet emotional turbulence with rare sensitivity. Written by Tony Abruzzo and inked by Bernard Sachs, the tale follows Lucille as she flees a broken relationship, only to be stranded by a snowstorm at a roadside motel—where she encounters another lost soul seeking escape. The cover by Art Saaf and Vince Colletta perfectly frames the story’s intimate, melancholic mood.
