“The Lonely One”

In "The Lonely One," a 1955 EC Comics standout, a man teeters on the edge of the Fremont Building, his fate hanging in the balance as memories of a crushing day unfold. Written by Carl Wessler and brought to haunting life by Graham Ingels’ stark art and Marie Severin’s evocative colors, the story captures a single, devastating moment of isolation and misunderstanding. Jack Davis’ chilling cover perfectly sets the tone for this powerful, character-driven tale.

A large crowd gathers where a man stands on a ledge of the Fremont Building, one hundred feet above, threatening to jump. He does, and as he falls, he thinks back to earlier in the day when his boss tells him that he s being laid off. As he gets ready to board a bus for home, he sees a woman drop her purse and attempts to return it. She accuses him of trying to steal it. Scared, he flees and heads for the ledge of the building, and jumps, but is saved by a fireman's net. His boss witnesses the scene and hires him back.
