That Wilkin Boy #18
In "The Ghost Hunters," Samantha’s carefree attitude toward her loyal dog Bingo takes a surprising turn when she casually sidelines him for more glamorous companions. But when her usual crowd lets her down at the biggest dance of the year, she finds herself unexpectedly relying on Bingo—only to learn a lesson in appreciation the hard way. Written by Frank Doyle and brought to life with Dan DeCarlo’s signature style, Rudy Lapick’s inks, Barry Grossman’s colors, and Bill Yoshida’s lettering, this 1972 Archie classic features a memorable cover by Stan Goldberg and Jon D'Agostino.

In a story narrated by Samantha, she takes Bingo for granted, running around with many exciting boys and keeping Bingo on a leash for when she needs him. When Bingo gets tired of this treatment, Samantha fixes him up with her plain friend Sally, who can keep him occupied without being a threat to Samantha. But Samantha's fast-living boyfriends let her down when she needs a date for the biggest dance of the year, and when she turns to Bingo, he unwittingly gives her a taste of her own medicine.
