Modern Love #2

In "I Craved Excitement!", Fay’s quiet engagement to Jimmy takes a sudden turn when a storm strands her and her neighbor Bill in a remote cabin, where they pass the night playing chess with Bill’s friend Joe. As the days pass, the tension between Fay and Jimmy erupts, leading to a dramatic breakup—only for Bill to reveal he’d fabricated the storm to free Fay from her engagement. Art by Graham Ingels, with lettering by Jim Wroten, this 1949 tale of longing and misdirection is a standout in EC’s Modern Love series, with a striking cover by Johnny Craig and Al Feldstein.
