Leave It to Binky #67

DC's long-running teen humor series serves up a perfectly charming scene in this 1969 issue, with Binky clutching his wide-eyed blonde girlfriend as they walk past a crumbling old haunted house under a full moon — her speech bubble asking the delightfully loaded question, "B-Binky… why do we always take the long way home… past the old haunted house?" A perched owl, bare winter trees, and circling bats complete the spooky-romantic atmosphere that Bob Oksner renders with warm, expressive linework on both pencils and inks. It's a breezy, fun cover that captures exactly what made Leave It to Binky such an enjoyable corner of DC's 1969 lineup.
