Perfect Love #9
In "I Was My Own Worst Enemy," Conchita leaves home for university in the U.S., where she falls for Johnny—only to return home after her father’s death, pressured into marrying her fiancé Manuel. When an outbreak of hoof-and-mouth disease brings Johnny back to her village, long-buried secrets surface, and the truth behind missed letters begins to unravel. A 1953 St. John classic, this emotionally charged story is lettered by Ben Oda and features a striking cover by Victor Olson.
