Clifford Blossom

Clifford Blossom is the wealthy, patrician patriarch of the Blossom family in Riverdale, father to the glamorous Cheryl and Jason Blossom. He embodies the privileged, high-society world the Blossoms inhabit, often serving as a figure of authority and old-money prestige.

Clifford Blossom made his comics debut in the pages of Cheryl Blossom #2 in 1996, stepping into the sun-drenched, drama-rich world of Riverdale during the Copper/Modern Age of comics. A creation of the legendary Archie talent pool — Bill Golliher, Dan DeCarlo, and Dan Parent — he's part of the glamorous, occasionally thorny Blossom family orbit, sharing pages with Cheryl and Jason Blossom alongside Riverdale's most beloved regulars: Archie Andrews, Betty Cooper, and Veronica Lodge. His appearances have turned up across beloved digest staples like Betty & Veronica (Jumbo Comics) Double Digest and Archie's Holiday Fun Digest, the kind of cozy, perennial reads that have kept Archie fans coming back for decades. A supporting presence with staying power — his catalog footprint stretches all the way to 2025 — Clifford is one of those characters who quietly enriches the world around Riverdale's brightest stars.
