Archie 3000

Set in a far-future world, Archie 3000 reimagines the classic Riverdale teenager Archie Andrews living in the year 3000, navigating comedy and everyday adventures in a science-fiction setting with futuristic technology replacing the familiar trappings of his 20th-century life.

Few characters capture the playful ambition of late-'80s Archie Comics quite like Archie 3000, a futuristic spin on the beloved Riverdale everyman who rocketed onto the scene in 1989 with artist Rex W. Lindsey at the helm. This Copper Age creation transplants the familiar world of Archie into a far-flung tomorrow, surrounding him with equally reimagined companions — Betty 3000, Veronica 3000, Reggie 3000, and Jughead 3000 — proving that some friendships (and rivalries) are apparently timeless. His adventures have shown up across digest favorites like Archie Comics Digest and Archie & Friends Double Digest Magazine, making him a fun discovery tucked between the pages for readers who thought they knew every corner of the Archie universe. If you've ever wondered what Riverdale looks like a millennium from now, Archie 3000 is your cheerful, sci-fi-tinged answer.
