Today in Comics History, February 14, Valentine's Day: Oh man, they're gonna have Superboy come in and make her over, aren't they?*

from "The Man Who Changed" in Journey into Mystery (1952 series) #27 (Marvel/Atlas, October 1955), pencils by Jay Scott Pike, inks by J. Scott Pike (?) or Christopher Rule (?), letters by Joe Letterese (?)
Then, Jane gives a down-on-his-luck bum, quite possibly a disheveled David Banner, thirty bucks. Jane's hotter waitress cohort is appalled. I mean, you coulda bought 300 copies of Journey into Mystery #27 with that!


Turns out the hobo was in fact Jesus. Well, close, he was St. Valentine (patron saint of beekeepers, by the way, which is why his day is so sweet). And he's gorgeous and he made Jane beautiful.


Say, what the Sam Scratch was the moral of this story again?
