☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free"Off-beat Highness" delivers a charmingly awkward comedy of mistaken identity in this 1979 installment of Love Story Picture Library. When Isabel’s claim of a mysterious boyfriend is challenged by her friend Pat, a photograph from Shirley’s handbag sets off a chain of misunderstandings that spirals when the sailor actually shows up—only to reveal a twist neither Isabel nor the reader sees coming. Illustrated with expressive detail by Julio Vivas, the story unfolds with quiet humor and gentle suspense, all captured in a cover by Julio Vivas.
In "Off-beat Highness," aspiring Hollywood star Topaz flees her ordinary life by stowing away in a lifeboat, only to wake up on a remote South Seas island after the boat is rowed ashore by a mysterious man. Stranded and far from Los Angeles, she’s mistaken by the island’s people as a long-foretold goddess, thrust into a situation both surreal and uncertain.
In "I'll Go Along," Isabel’s quiet life unravels when her friend Shirley produces a photograph of a sailor from Isabel’s handbag—someone Isabel claims to have never seen. When the man himself shows up, kissing Isabel with surprising ease, she plays along, caught in a web of confusion and growing unease. The truth, when it comes, reveals a far more personal twist than anyone expected.
