Warning: the story under this Ken Bald-illustrated cover is about an incurable disease...
...but it's not the incurable disease you'll think it is after the first few pages!
So he's not cured, but in remission, though the doctor says the operation was a "complete success"!
Written by editor Richard E Hughes and illustrated by Howard Alexander, this never-reprinted tale from ACG's Confessions of the LoveLorn #57 (1955) tries to make Alan honorable, even noble!
But instead of being honest with his wife, he all-but-abandoned her and then returned years later expecting her to take him back!
