That Wilkin Boy #31
In "Triple Play," Bingo tries to honor Samantha’s wish not to receive a birthday gift—only to find that her reaction is far from the relief he expected. Written by Dick Malmgren and brought to life with Dan DeCarlo’s signature style, this 1975 Archie classic captures the awkward charm of teenage miscommunication, with Rudy Lapick’s inks and Barry Grossman’s colors adding warmth to the moment. The cover by Dan DeCarlo and Rudy Lapick perfectly captures the scene’s playful tension.
