In "Lucky Binky!", a mischievous Jo finds himself in a whirlwind of accidental chaos after a fateful bike ride takes a disastrous turn—knocking over Professor Dripp, smacking him with lumber, and triggering a chain reaction of explosive mishaps. Written by John Albano and brought to life with vibrant energy by Stan Goldberg (pencils and inks), this 1983 classic from The Best of DC series captures the absurd, slapstick spirit of a cartoon gone wildly wrong. The cover by Stan Goldberg perfectly captures the issue’s over-the-top tone, making it a standout in any collection.
