Jackie #65

In "Stop Feeling Sorry for Yourself," Mary’s quiet kindness toward a lonely boy at The Rambling Tum takes an unexpected turn when he rebuffs her, only to reappear later in need. When she helps him on the bus, their connection grows—until his lingering feelings for an ex-girlfriend put their budding relationship to the test. As emotions run high and old wounds resurface, Mary finds herself alone in a coffee bar, snapping at Harry’s attempts to comfort her. Art by Romero, with inks by Romero, this 1965 issue captures a tender, bittersweet moment in a story that quietly explores empathy, heartbreak, and the fragile hope of connection.
