That Wilkin Boy #17

Set inside a pizza parlor, this 1972 Archie Giant Series entry drops readers right into a tense moment as Bingo and a friend confront a sharply dressed figure in a wide-brimmed hat, trading heated words about a purse-snatching gone wrong — all while a cook looks on in disbelief from the counter and two teens watch from the foreground. The cover, penciled by Stan Goldberg and inked by Jon D'Agostino, captures the book's mix of suburban adventure and colorful early-'70s fashion with real energy. With Samantha, Bingo, and "Tough Teddy" all in the spotlight, and a teased story of heroism called "That Silly Backbone," issue #17 promises a fun, character-driven read for fans of Archie's ensemble casts.
