Astra

A cosmic curiosity from the dawn of the Silver Age, Astra made her debut in Archie Annual #11 in 1959, bringing a touch of outer-space wonder to Archie Comics' beloved universe. Sharing pages with familiar Riverdale faces like Archie Andrews, Jughead Jones, and Reggie Mantle — as well as the stellar Cosmo and Orbi — she's a delightful reminder that even the world's most wholesome comic publisher had its eyes on the stars during the Space Age. Her appearances across Laugh Comics Digest and Archie Annual span an impressive six decades, making her a charming, if rare, gem for the dedicated Archie collector who loves discovering the publisher's quirkier corners.
