That Wilkin Boy #26

In "Quiet Please," Bingo finds himself reluctantly stepping out of his usual routine when his mother insists he welcome the new neighbors. What begins as a simple errand turns into an unexpected encounter with a widow and her teenage daughter, Zelda, whose presence stirs unfamiliar feelings in Bingo. Written by Frank Doyle and brought to life by Samm Schwartz’s expressive art and Barry Grossman’s subtle coloring, this 1974 issue captures quiet moments with a touch of tender intrigue. The cover, by Dan DeCarlo and Rudy Lapick, perfectly frames the story’s delicate mood.
