That Wilkin Boy #3

Jun 1969 · Archie · 0.12 USD
“Generosity”

In "Generosity," the third issue of That Wilkin Boy (1969), Mr. Wilkin earns Mr. Smythe's respect through an unexpected display of willpower—lifting weights not by strength, but by sheer determination. Meanwhile, Samantha shares a quiet moment about her name, and her father begins to see Bingo in a new light, hinting at a shift in how he views family and legacy. Written by Frank Doyle and brought to life by Dan DeCarlo’s expressive art, Rudy Lapick’s inks, Barry Grossman’s colors, and Bill Yoshida’s lettering, the issue captures the warmth and humor of Archie’s early 1960s charm. The cover, penciled by DeCarlo and inked by Lapick, perfectly captures the story’s heartfelt tone.
