Lovers' Lane #37
In "A Stranger's Kiss," Ann’s chance meeting with soldier Ted at a USO dance sparks a delicate web of feelings and secrets. When Ted writes to Vickie after being shipped overseas, Ann steps in—replying in Vickie’s name—setting off a quiet chain of emotions that unravel when he returns on leave. With heartfelt moments and quiet tension, this 1953 tale by Art Gates (art and inks) unfolds through the tender, expressive visuals of Fred Kida’s cover.
