Later this week, I’ll have a new Valentine’s Day cartoon that I cooked up with my pal Mike Pascale. But for now, here’s a slightly updated Valentine’s Day comic from the Last Kiss comic book series—way back in 2002.
And here’s the original 1962 published art:
Art by Dick Giordano from the cover of Love Diary #24, Nov. 1962.
