Jughead 3000

In the far-future comedy series set in the year 3000, Jughead 3000 is the futuristic counterpart of Riverdale's beloved Jughead Jones, transplanted into a sci-fi setting while retaining his classic laziness and love of food.

Few characters capture the spirit of a beloved franchise's leap into the future quite like Jughead 3000, who burst onto the scene in Archie 3000 #1 in 1989, courtesy of creator Rex W. Lindsey. A Copper Age reimagining of one of comics' most iconic slackers, this far-future incarnation keeps familiar company — sharing adventures with Archie 3000, Betty 3000, Veronica 3000, and the rest of the gang translated into tomorrow — proving that some friendships are simply timeless. Turning up across digest staples like World of Archie (Jumbo Comics) Double Digest and Archie's Double Digest Magazine over a surprising span stretching into 2021, Jughead 3000 is a charming curiosity for Archie devotees who love their nostalgia with a sci-fi twist.
