There Is Hope in Crime Alley


Panel (mildly tweaked by me) from The Brave and the Bold (1955 series) #102 (June-July 1972);
script by Bob Haney; pencils, inks, and letters by Jim Aparo

Love wins.

I'm going to postpone the final day of this year's "There Is No Hope in Crime Alley" until tomorrow, folks, which may seem like bat-sacrilege, but I think there's something much more important to commemorate today. Altho' it's of course not the end of the discussion — there will be battles both social and political to come, I'm sure — it's a triumph and a celebration for today. We all should be dancing in the streets, because we all win when love does. If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find that love actually is all around.
