Marilyn #1 April 1961
"He'll Hear Me Calling" kicks off in Marilyn #1 (April 1961) with a quiet, poignant moment between Danny, a man known more for idleness than ambition, and Nora, who sees something in him others don’t. Written by Jim Edgar and illustrated by Richard Neillands, the story captures a tender tension as Nora gently challenges Danny’s self-image—without demanding change, only wondering if love might be enough to stir something deeper. The cover by Richard Neillands perfectly frames the emotional weight of their connection.
