Romantic Adventure Library #902
"In for a Penny..." is a gripping tale from Romantic Adventure Library #902 (1980), a 15p British comic that cuts close to the bone. Ethel, recently released from prison after a murder conviction, finds herself caught in a dangerous web when her past resurfaces—her son is once again in peril, and the men who once threatened him now demand her help in a robbery. With no clear allies and a past she can't escape, her fight for redemption takes a tense, personal turn. The story unfolds with quiet intensity, the typeset lettering adding to its stark, unflinching tone.
