That Wilkin Boy #50

Issue #50 of That Wilkin Boy arrives as a milestone number with a cover by Stan Goldberg that promises equal parts mystery and mayhem. Laid out in comic-strip panels, the cover follows Samantha urging Rusty to flee, a confused teen asking where they're headed, a police officer leveling charges of kidnapping and auto theft at a young man, and a menacing figure warning "Uncle Herman" he shouldn't have been so nosy — all punctuated by bold "MYSTERY," "SUSPENSE," and "DANGER" labels. Joe Edwards handles the full interior chores — writing, penciling, and inking — making this 1981 entry a showcase for his warm, energetic take on Archie-style small-town adventure.
