The Chilling Adventures Presents is getting a new one-shot from Archie Comics, this time, returning to a chilling tale of the Cult of that Wilkin Boy.
Chilling Adventures Presents… The Cult of That Wilkin Boy: Initiation is written by Cullen Bunn with art by Dan Schoening.
Bingo first appeared in 1968’s THAT WILKIN BOY #1, launching a fan-favorite spinoff to the core Archie titles that ran for 14 years, with the hook of a popular teenage rock band. The new series of WILKIN BOY horror one-shots takes the opportunity of that wholesome starting point to explore the dark side of clout-chasing ambition and fame, in the chilling milieu of satanic cults.
Bingo, having dallied with infernal forces and gained the upper hand (for now!), is at the height of his power. But instead of basking in the glow of his evil cult following, he’s recruiting innocent souls for a dark project as a music manager. What happened to his dreams of rock superstardom, and can he somehow find a way back?
“I’m so excited to have the chance to write a new Bingo story,” Bunn said. “INITIATION stands completely on its own as a fun, dark little horror tale. But, for those who have read THE CULT OF THAT WILKIN BOY, it continues the tale of deviltry and supernatural shenanigans in an exciting way. Returning to this world, I wanted to tell a tale that was a natural progression for Bingo but was also an amplification of the nightmarish horror that surrounds him.”
Chilling Adventures Presents… The Cult of That Wilkin Boy: Initiation arrives on April 24, 2024.
