Nurse Betsy Crane #17
In "Three Suns on the Horizon," Nurse Betsy Crane and her colleague Rick face a quiet but heavy moment when they discover that Walt McGovern, the hospital’s new fitness instructor, is battling advanced tuberculosis. With empathy and urgency, Betsy urges Walt to marry his fiancée Gail, so they might share what little time remains. Written by Joe Gill and illustrated by Charles Nicholas, with inks by Vince Colletta, this poignant story unfolds with the warmth and restraint of a 1962 Charlton classic, its cover by Dick Giordano capturing the emotional weight in a single, striking image.
