Since it's both Black History Month and almost Valentines Day...
..we thought we'd present a tale about a Black nurse who becomes romantically-involved with a White doctor!
Note: On some pages Phyllis' skin is gray and on some it's brown.
That's because on the pages showing her as gray, the color separators used the wrong combination of yellow, red (magenta) and blue (cyan) screens.
To find out what happens next...
for the heart-rending conclusion as well as some background about the writer of the tale!

There certainly seem to be two different skin colours on Phyllis!
ReplyDeleteIs one ‘wrong’ and the other ‘right’?
I agree that the gray colour looks ‘wrong’, but as you might have seen, a lot of comics used it for African and African-American characters for many decades.
Even in the first appearance of the Black Panther in FF52!
