In "Jezebel," DC's Girls' Love Stories #172 (1972) delivers a sharp, character-driven story about Cathy, a girl whose charm comes with a complicated edge—she’s drawn to tempting the boyfriends of other girls, not out of malice, but as a game. Written with subtle tension and emotional nuance, the tale follows her as she grapples with her own feelings when she finally falls in love, forcing her to confront whether she can truly change. Art by Art Saaf, with inks by Vince Colletta and letters by Joe Letterese, this issue captures a moment of quiet self-awareness in a world where desire and identity collide. The cover, by Jay Scott Pike, perfectly frames the story’s mood with its striking, stylized portrait.
