Valentine #7 November 1959
In "I've Got the World on a String," Julie’s quiet routine is upended when she notices a shy man lingering outside her flat each morning—until a night of sudden noise next door leads her to take matters into her own hands. With a flashlight and quick instincts, she confronts a figure in the dark, only to realize too late she’s mistaken a police officer for a burglar. Antonio Romero’s expressive art brings the tension to life in this gripping 1959 IPC tale, where one wrong move could cost everything.
