☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Go to Her, My Darling!", Melanie’s sudden decision to marry Juan sends shockwaves through her family, but as the wedding day nears, she begins to question her feelings—only to realize her choice may be less about love and more about a deeper, unresolved tension with her mother. With her sister and John now engaged, Melanie sets off for New York, ready to confront what comes next. Written by Barbara Friedlander and brought to life with sharp, expressive art by Alex Toth—pencils and inks by Vince Colletta—and a striking cover by Dick Giordano, this 1970 issue captures a quiet moment of emotional reckoning with warmth and precision.
Melanie Winters faces a painful crossroads when she announces her engagement to Juan Ricco, sparking tension with her mother, Roger Winters. As the wedding plans unfold, she confronts a difficult truth: her decision isn’t about love, but about hurting the woman who’s always stood in her way. With her sister Monica and her brother John by her side—now engaged—Melanie sets off for New York, leaving behind a life built on old wounds and unspoken feelings.
A New Girl in Town follows Michelle Moore, a young woman uprooted from New York after her parents' tragic death, as she begins a new life in the quiet town of Glen Oaks with relatives she’s never known. Adjusting to her new school, she finds herself drawn to a boy whose family disapproves of her background, setting the stage for a quiet but heartfelt romance.
