A Gift of Love, by William T. Stillwell (romance/porno comic, 1971)

[lb_lee]

Ages later, I awoke in my own bed, in my own world... "What an odd dream," I thought. "It was so very... real!"

Blurb: After getting dumped by her sleazebag boyfriend, a hippie girl attempts suicide, only to enter a beautiful dream where a kind man loves her, frees her from sexual shame, and brings her to a new understanding of herself.

Why is it worth your time?: This is an old softcore romance porno comic, cheesy but charming. If you want a good old-fashioned dream lover story, consider trying it! It's only six pages, and the pencil (or charcoal) artwork is nice.

Plural Tags: abuse low-focus, dreamfolk, romantic relationship

Access Notes: This was originally printed in a 1971 comic anthology magazine, Imagination no. 1, in 1971, but good luck finding THAT, so I scanned and uploaded it to archive.org. Someone else also scanned all of Imagination No. 1 and PDFed it here. Not screenreadable at this time, sorry.

Misc Notes: Apparently William Jabin, the guy who printed Imagination No. 1, did it when he was just 15-17 years old! He has an interview where he talks about it and William Stillwell here.
