Most Likely to Succeed #[nn]

"Most Likely To Succeed" is a stark, emotionally charged story from Steve Matuszak, who wrote, drew, inked, and lettered the entire issue, capturing the fragile tension between high-schoolers Cindy Hartjes and Scott McDonald. Set against the quiet backdrop of Wisconsin’s Fox River Valley in the 1950s, the narrative unfolds with a quiet dread, rooted in real events, as their relationship spirals toward a devastating conclusion. Nancy Hope’s cover art perfectly mirrors the story’s unsettling tone, framing the moment just before everything changes.
