Heart Throbs #132

In "Don't Believe What They Say About Me," Sherry finds herself at a crossroads in her relationship with Jeff, questioning her feelings after a moment of doubt leads her to secretly arrange a blind date—only to discover that her heart has never truly strayed. Art Saaf’s expressive art, inked by Vince Colletta and lettered by John Costanza, brings quiet emotional depth to this intimate slice of life, while Bob Oksner’s cover captures the tension of a moment just before a decision. A 15-cent comic from 1971, it’s a subtle, character-driven story that lingers long after the final page.
