Alexander Cabot II

Alexander Cabot II is the wealthy, imperious patriarch of the Cabot family in the Josie comics, serving as the overbearing father of scheming Alexander Cabot III and his sister Alexandra, embodying the snobbish upper-crust world that surrounds Josie and her friends.

Silver Age Archie Comics has no shortage of memorable supporting players, and Alexander Cabot II is a quietly enduring piece of that colorful puzzle — debuting in She's Josie #3 in 1963, courtesy of the legendary team of Frank Doyle and Dan DeCarlo. Over nearly six decades of Archie publishing, he's kept rarefied company, sharing pages with Josie McCoy, Alexandra Cabot, Alexander Cabot III, Melody Valentine, and even Archie Andrews himself, turning up across beloved digest staples like Betty & Veronica (Jumbo Comics) Double Digest and Josie and the Pussycats. With a collector-significant key issue to his name and a presence stretching all the way to 2022, he's a testament to the remarkable longevity of the Archie universe's extended cast. For fans who love digging into the deeper corners of that world, Alexander Cabot II is a rewarding find.
