Synopsis
Roy falls in love with Dena at first sight, but she's with Nick. He keeps trying to spend time with the couple but Nick is jealous and always tries to show him up. However, Dena eventually chooses Roy over Nick.

Indexer Notes

"All I wanted was the moon - until I saw Dena...and when her picture hung inside my locker door, it outshone even the moon! Then all I wanted was the impossible..." -- from Table of Contents.

John Romita told Robin Snyder that he had inked several stories by Tony Aburzzo. Previous indexer credited Romita on pencils and Sachs on inks but the Abruzzo characteristics in the faces makes
him the more likely penciler.
