Wilbur Comics #86

In "My Buddy," Wilbur finds himself in a classroom tradition gone delightfully awkward when the school dance assigns boys to take a doll to the event—only for Linda to accidentally destroy hers, unaware that Wilbur had chosen it. Written by Frank Doyle and brought to life with Dan DeCarlo’s signature charm—penciled by DeCarlo and inked by Rudy Lapick, with letters by Vincent DeCarlo—this 1959 gem captures a sweet, lighthearted moment of middle-school romance, all on a 10-cent cover by Dan DeCarlo.
