That Wilkin Boy #12
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "All Aglow," Samantha finds herself torn between the charming but boyish Bingo and the sophisticated, life-saving doctor who’s recently entered her world. As her feelings shift, a moment of truth forces her to reconsider what maturity truly means—especially when Bingo’s actions reveal a depth she hadn’t seen before. Written by Frank Doyle and illustrated by Samm Schwartz, with colors by Barry Grossman and letters by Bill Yoshida, this 1971 Archie tale captures a sweet, heartfelt moment of growth. The cover, by Dan DeCarlo and Rudy Lapick, perfectly captures the story’s delicate balance of romance and self-discovery.
In "All Aglow," Bingo's clumsy mishap with Mr. Smythe's barbells leads to a guitar's tragic demise, sparking a heated argument with Samantha that ends their relationship—much to her father's quiet delight.
In a quiet moment of reflection, a young woman named Samantha finds herself caught between two very different men—one impulsive and boyish, the other calm and steady. When a crisis tests her choices, she must confront what maturity truly means, and whether the man she’s drawn to is the one who leads with wisdom or just the one who seems most certain.
