Bully Says: Comics Oughta Be Fun!: Today in Comics History, July 17, 1959: Rest in Peace, Billie Holiday

In my solitude you haunt me / With reveries of days gone by / In my solitude you taunt me / With memories that never die

I sit in my chair / Filled with despair / There's no one could be so sad / With gloom everywhere / I sit and I stare / I know that I'll soon go mad

In my solitude / I'm praying / Dear Lord above / Send back my love

from Billie Holiday graphic novel (NBM, May 2017); script by Carlos Sampayo; translated by Katy MacRae, Robert Boyd, and Kim Thompson; pencils and inks by José Muñoz; letters by Ortho

"(In My) Solitude" by Billie Holiday (Clef Records, 1952), written by Eddie DeLange, Duke Ellington, and Irving Mills
