Valentine #1 September 1973
"The Edge of Darkness" in Valentine #1 (September 1973) tells the quiet, heartfelt story of Linda, a woman determined to honor the motherly figure who raised her after taking her from an orphanage. With her aunt Jenny now frail and dependent, Linda faces a difficult choice when Jake offers her a chance to start anew in Canada—her loyalty to Jenny pulling her back as her future calls forward. José Cánovas handles both art and inks, bringing a tender, grounded realism to the emotional core of the tale.
