Valentine #20 June 1964
In "Hold Me Tight," Jean finds herself caught in a web of unexpected attention when the town’s wealthiest man takes an interest in her—so much so that she turns to advice columnist 'Aunt Clarinda' for guidance. The letter she sends sets off a chain of events that leads to heartbreak and a surprising revelation: the beloved advice giver is actually a man who knew Nigel’s true nature all along. Jordi Franch Cubells delivers the story with sharp, expressive art in this 1964 issue, a 6d gem from IPC.
