Inferno

Inferno made their comics debut in the Silver Age with The Mighty Crusaders #4 in 1966, brought to life by creators Jerry Ess and Paul Are under the Archie Comics banner. What makes this character's story particularly intriguing is the long, winding road that followed — a publication history stretching all the way to 2022, with appearances scattered across beloved Archie digest titles like Archie's Double Digest Magazine and Betty & Veronica (Jumbo Comics) Double Digest, sharing pages with icons like Archie Andrews, Betty Cooper, Veronica Lodge, and Jughead Jones. With a key issue already to their name and over five decades of intermittent presence in the Archie universe, Inferno is a quietly fascinating footnote for collectors who love tracing the unexpected corners of Silver Age superhero history into the cozy world of Riverdale.
