Captain Hero
Captain Hero is the superhero alter ego adopted by Jughead Jones in the Archie Comics universe, first appearing in 1966. Jughead imagined himself as this caped champion in humorous fantasy stories published in Life with Archie.
Dreamed up by Frank Doyle and Bob White and launched in Life with Archie #50 in 1966, Captain Hero is Archie Comics' own Silver Age superhero β a caped creation that gave Riverdale its very own champion right in the thick of Marvel and DC's costumed boom. With a publishing history stretching all the way to 2024, this character has proven remarkably durable, headlining titles like Jughead as Captain Hero and Archie's Super Teens while sharing pages with the whole beloved Riverdale crew β Archie, Jughead, Betty, Veronica, and Reggie. For collectors who love the lighter, sun-drenched side of the Silver Age, Captain Hero is a charming reminder that superhero fever swept every corner of comics in the '60s, and Archie Comics met that moment with genuine wit and style.
