Archie 1

Debuting in Archie #197 back in 1970, Archie 1 is a Silver Age creation from the legendary Archie Comics stable, brought to life by the classic team of Frank Doyle and Harry Lucey. Over a remarkable 52-year publishing run, this character has kept lively company with some of Riverdale's most beloved faces — Moose Mason, Dilton Doiley, Reggie 1, Pop Tate, and Hiram Lodge among them — turning up across digest staples like Everything's Archie and Betty & Veronica (Jumbo Comics) Double Digest. With a collector-recognized key issue to their name and nearly seven decades of appearances, Archie 1 is a quietly enduring corner of the Archie universe well worth a second look for any serious fan of the publisher's rich history.
