Heart Throbs #63

In "A Proud Goodbye," Fay navigates the quiet ache of unreciprocated affection as her feelings for two men are met with gratitude rather than love. When a third man, Eric, finally reveals his true feelings, she must confront how she’s seen herself—and others—through the lens of her own emotional history. Bernard Sachs handles both art and inks, with lettering by Ira Schnapp, while John Romita’s cover captures the story’s poignant mood.
