That Wilkin Boy

    (Archie, 1969-1982)
™ and © by That Wilkin Boy

Ever eager to meet the demands of readers across America clamoring for more Archie products, Archie Comics launched Meet Bingo, That Wilkin Boy at the tail end of the 1960s. Similar in style but more contemporary in sensibility than the 50s-oriented Archie gang, Bingo Wilkin was a typical teenager of the 1970s suburbs. The stories revolved almost exclusively around his clownish efforts to pry his eager young girlfriend Samantha from the grip of her psychotic, overprotective father. Of most interest to today’s retro-70s fans are the wardrobe, vocabulary, cars and numerous pop culture references, which rival the Partridge Family for sheer, unmitigated schtick value. When the dawn of the Reagan era cast its withering light over all that was 70s, That Wilkin Boy vanished from the stands.
