Who is Billy?

Billy is a supporting character from the Katy Keene universe, appearing alongside fashion icon Katy Keene and characters like Sis, K.O. Kelly, and Gloria Grandbilt across various Katy Keene titles published by Archie Comics.

Debuting in the pages of Wilbur Comics #36 back in 1951, Billy is a Golden Age Archie creation brought to life by the talented Joe Edwards β€” and a character whose presence stretched remarkably across nearly five decades of comics history. Billy keeps genuinely glamorous company, sharing pages with the iconic Katy Keene herself, alongside Sis, K.O. Kelly, Randy Van Ronson, and Gloria Grandbilt across such beloved titles as Katy Keene Comics, Katy Keene Fashion Book Magazine, and Katy Keene Pin-up Parade. That kind of staying power β€” from the early Golden Age all the way through 1998 β€” speaks to the enduring charm of the world Billy inhabits. For collectors and fans of Archie's fashion-forward, personality-rich corner of comics history, Billy is a rewarding piece of a wonderfully stylish puzzle.
