In "My Kind of Love!", a 1964 DC gem, Sue’s striking beauty overshadows her intelligence—until she’s cast as the ugly duckling in a play, only to surprise everyone with her transformation. After meeting Philip during a quiet evening walk in her costume, she finds a rare connection in his thoughtful conversation, but their budding romance is tested when she sees him at a celebratory party with a glamorous companion. Tony Abruzzo’s expressive art and Joe Giella’s sharp inks bring the emotional tension to life, while Gaspar Saladino’s lettering adds vintage flair.
