Brando

Meet Brando, a Silver Age creation who first stepped onto the page in Laugh #97 back in 1959, brought to life by the reliably entertaining Archie Comics duo of Frank Doyle and Bill Vigoda. Over a twenty-year run stretching into 1979, this character carved out a modest but genuine place in the sun-drenched, malt-shop world of Riverdale, popping up most frequently in Archie's Pal Jughead and the beloved Laugh Comics family of titles. With nine catalog appearances — two of them collector-recognized key issues — Brando shares those pages with some of the most iconic names in American funny books: Archie Andrews, Betty Cooper, Veronica Lodge, Jughead Jones, and Shrimpy. It's a small footprint, but in the warm, nostalgic universe of Archie Comics, even a supporting player carries a certain timeless charm that keeps collectors and fans coming back.
