That Wilkin Boy #36

In "The Inner Man," Samantha’s well-intentioned pep talk gives Bingo a confidence boost that quickly spirals when he decides to challenge a fearsome, hulking bruiser. Written by Frank Doyle and brought to life with Dan DeCarlo’s expressive art, Rudy Lapick’s dynamic inks, Barry Grossman’s vibrant colors, and Bill Yoshida’s crisp lettering, this 1976 Archie classic captures a moment of youthful bravado. The cover by Stan Goldberg and Jon D’Agostino perfectly frames the story’s mix of humor and heart.
