Captain Sprocket

Dreamed up by the legendary Dan DeCarlo and launched in Laugh Comics #184 in 1966, Captain Sprocket is a Silver Age curiosity from the Archie universe who has quietly persisted across an impressive 57 years of publication. Sharing pages with beloved Riverdale regulars like Archie Andrews, Betty Cooper, Jughead Jones, Veronica Lodge, and Reggie Mantle, this character carved out a niche in digest fare like World of Archie (Jumbo Comics) Double Digest and the wilder corners of the Archie line including Mad House Comics. With 11 catalog appearances, a key-issue credit to their name, and a debut courtesy of one of comics' most celebrated cartoonists, Captain Sprocket is a charming little footnote that rewards the dedicated Archie completist hunting for something a little off the beaten Riverdale path.
