Bertha Bumples

Bertha Bumples is a supporting character from Archie Comics' fashion-and-humor world, debuting in Wilbur Comics in 1955 and later appearing alongside Katy Keene and her circle in Archie's glamour-focused titles.

Bertha Bumples made her debut in the pages of Wilbur Comics #58 in 1955, stepping into the bright, fashion-forward world that Archie Comics built around glamour, humor, and small-town charm. A Golden Age original, she went on to share the page with beloved figures like Katy Keene, Randy Van Ronson, and K.O. Kelly across titles like Katy Keene Fashion Book Magazine and Laugh Comics — a roster that places her squarely in one of Archie's most stylish and warmly remembered corners. With appearances stretching across an impressive 57 years and a key issue to her name, Bertha is exactly the kind of recurring personality that devoted collectors love to rediscover — a small but genuine thread woven through decades of classic Archie storytelling.
