| Comic Story | I Yearned For Love! (10 pages) |
| Synopsis | Unattractive college student Laura goes home on vacation. When telephone installer Rod arrives, she’s wearing a beautiful life-like mask and he asks her for a date. That night, she poses as the maid (sans mask) when he arrives: he’s attracted to her, but she thinks it’s just because he isn’t wearing his glasses. However, Rod says he loves her and that makes her beautiful in his eyes. Laura is doubtful but eventually realises he’s sincere. |
| Content | Genre: Romance | Characters: Laura Manvell; Rod Williams; Johnny |
| Notes | Looks so unlike Lee Elias work while it does, that it makes me wonder if he inked it (freely) over someone else. |
