Love Diary #9
"Never Love a Pilot!" is a heartfelt 1950 romance from Love Diary #9, where Janet’s growing feelings for Hal, a quiet mechanic, collide with her deep-seated fear of test pilots—especially after her sister’s husband died in a crash. When her father’s new plane needs a pilot and Hal steps forward, the truth comes out: he’s been a test pilot all along, hiding his identity to win her trust. The story, illustrated with quiet intensity by Paul Parker and lettered by Ed Hamilton, captures a tender moment of choice and acceptance.
