Skipper Mason

Skipper Mason made their debut in the pages of Wilbur Comics #7 in 1946, brought to life by Bill Vigoda during the golden heyday of Archie's wholesome, small-town comics universe. A Golden Age original with a surprisingly long shadow — with appearances cataloged as recently as 2011 — Skipper has quietly persisted across six-plus decades in the company of beloved Archie stalwarts like Wilbur Wilkin, Katy Keene, and Gloria Grandbilt. With a key issue already to their name and turns in Katy Keene Annual and Betty alongside the flagship Wilbur Comics, Skipper Mason is a charming piece of Archie history worth a second look for any collector who loves digging into the publisher's rich, sun-drenched Golden Age roots.
