Julie Barnes

A creature of the early Bronze Age, Julie Barnes stepped onto the Archie Comics scene in 1972, introduced by the prolific Al Hartley in the pages of Sabrina, the Teenage Witch. Her handful of appearances span a wonderfully eclectic corner of the Archie universe — popping up in Archie's Girls Betty and Veronica, Jughead, and the pop-culture-saturated Archie's TV Laugh-Out, where she rubbed shoulders with the likes of Elvis Presley, William Shatner, and Pete Cochran. Rare and fleeting, she's a genuine curiosity for collectors who love the oddball edges of early-seventies Archie — a small footnote with surprisingly glamorous company.
