Valentine #3 October 1970

In "The Reluctant Find," Marcia finds herself caught between duty and desire as a tense evening at a design fair unfolds into a quiet, charged journey home. With only the flicker of a broken-down car’s headlights and the weight of unspoken words between them, she and her colleague Alan confront the quiet ache of what might have been. Illustrated with delicate precision by José Gual, this poignant slice of 1970s British comic life captures a moment suspended between choice and resignation.
