☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free"Someone, Someone" is a quietly poignant slice of life from Valentine #1 (August 1964), a 6d comic from IPC. Written and illustrated by Josep Maria Miralles, the story follows Angela, a young woman whose growing daydreams about a boy across the street spiral into a well-intentioned lie at work—until her confession leads to a tender, unexpected promise from Phil himself. The cover by Josep Maria Miralles captures the quiet tension of unspoken feelings, making this a standout moment in a classic British romance anthology.
Angela’s quiet crush on the boy across the street—Cyril—goes unnoticed, leaving her to spin tales at work about their impending marriage. When the fiction catches up with her, she panics and plans to quit her job to escape the lie. But Phil, perceptive and kind, sees through her distress and gently calls her out—then promises to make the romance real, one weekend visit at a time.
In a quiet moment after a party game, Mary Scott finds herself shaken by the words written about her and John Dunn—words that seem to expose every awkward memory they’ve shared. When John follows her out, he gently reveals the truth behind the notes, turning a moment of embarrassment into something unexpected.
Wendy and Mary arrive at the Sunshine Hotel expecting a perfect getaway, only to find the place far from the idyllic retreat promised in the ad—construction blocks the view, and the staff consists of just one man. His girlfriend, the owner’s daughter, seems more interested in a new arrival from the States than in her current beau, leaving the manager caught between duty and distraction.
In "Here I Go Again," Evelyn and Peter Marney’s past comes back to haunt him when he unknowingly meets Linda Forester after a near-accident on the street. Though Peter’s charm and history with other women are no secret to Linda—thanks to her role at the switchboard—she finds herself drawn to him anyway. As their tentative romance unfolds, Sylvia Lawton watches from the sidelines, caught between old feelings and the quiet hope of something new.
