"Stranger in Town" in True Life Library #728 (1970) unfolds in a quiet English town where Ann, a steady worker at a local filling station, finds herself drawn to Greg, a mysterious newcomer searching for a woman named Jean Howe. Though Ann has never heard of Jean, she helps Greg settle in and, as his visit stretches beyond two weeks, fabricates a story to keep him around—leading to a quiet tension that grows between them. Luis Avila handles both art and inks, capturing the subtle unease beneath the town’s calm surface.
