☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Too Good to Be True," Ellen takes a surprising turn by enrolling in shop class just to catch Ed's eye—only to discover her lack of skill might not be the spark he expects. With art by Creig Flessel and a cover by Jerry Grandenetti, this 1975 issue captures a sweet, awkward moment in a classic teen romance, where intentions and results don’t always line up.
In "Too Good to Be True," Ellen finds herself caught between impulse and longing when a spontaneous kiss with a stranger leads to unexpected complications—especially as Russ, the boy she’s quietly admired, starts paying attention. The story explores the tangled emotions of teenage romance, where a single moment of rebellion stirs up feelings neither girl nor boy quite knows how to handle.
Ellen signs up for shop class just to be near Ed, hoping to impress him with her newfound skills—only to discover she’s utterly out of her depth. Her clumsy attempts to keep up with the hands-on work lead to a reaction from Ed that’s far from the one she imagined.
