Valentine #21 December 1968
In "I'm A-Going Away," José Ortiz's expressive art brings to life the growing tension between two very different girls—Fiona, who fears Joey's reckless speed, and Lynn, who pushes him toward daring feats like scaling a 200-foot flagpole. As Joey struggles to please them both, he begins to realize that neither path truly fits who he is. A 7d comic from December 1968, this issue captures a quiet moment of self-discovery with warmth and humor, drawn with care by José Ortiz.
