Valentine #10 December 1960

In "Don't Blame Me," a 1960 IPC comic from the Valentine series, Sue finds herself stranded in London with nothing but memories and a cherished necklace from her parents. After pawning it for survival, she crosses paths with a musician who leads her to a shared house where a tight-knit group of young people scrape by on scraps and shared dreams. José González’s evocative art brings the raw, intimate world of postwar youth to life, capturing both the vulnerability and quiet resilience of those trying to make it in a city that doesn’t always welcome them.
