Night Nurse, an intriguing but brief comic book series, promised--and actually delivered--dramatic and exciting stories ("Enter the world of danger, drama and death!") of the personal and professional lives of three young and beautiful nurses at Metro General.

Beginning with a crisis on the day of their graduation from nursing school, the initial issue offers a flashback to their student years as the three young women meet and adjust to rooming together--and to the demands of a big-city hospital.

The disparate trio of friends includes small-town girl Linda Carter (no resemblance to the character who appeared in the earlier comic book Linda Carter, Student Nurse; however, this comic is also from Stan Lee, so the name is probably not a coincidence), blond, beautiful, and dedicated; inner-city poor girl Georgia Jenkins, black, beautiful, and dedicated; and disinherited, determined rich girl Christine Palmer, red-haired, beautiful, and dedicated.

Each issue contains a single full-length dramatic story: a bomb threatens to blow up the hospital; a doctor is trafficking in drugs; a killer stalks the hospital halls; a private duty case lands a nurse in a spooky gothic mansion on a cliff. The stories weave romantic complications into these highly colorful situations in classic soap-opera fashion, offering plenty of suspense, chills, and satisfying drama.
