Marilyn #23 July 1960

In "One Alone," a quiet moment at a summer gathering takes an unexpected turn when Lee jokingly steals Austin’s hat and quotes a book of superstitions—only to find herself unsettled by the consequences. As the group laughs, Austin kisses her, sparking a shift in Lee’s perspective that makes her question the friendships she’s always taken for granted. Written by E. Fairbank and illustrated by Daniel Garcia (with inks by the same), this 1960 issue captures a tender, introspective moment in a world where small gestures carry weight. The cover by Daniel Garcia perfectly frames the story’s quiet emotional turning point.
