Kelly Brand

Kelly Brand is a character from Archie's action-oriented universe, appearing alongside costumed heroes such as Fireball, The Web, The Comet, and The Jaguar — placing her firmly within Archie Comics' superhero ensemble.

Stepping out of Archie Comics' Copper Age in 1989, Kelly Brand was brought to life by the legendary creative duo of Frank Doyle and Samm Schwartz in the pages of Archie's Double Digest Magazine. Over a surprisingly enduring stretch reaching all the way to 2024, this character has kept genuinely electrifying company — sharing adventures with costumed icons like Fireball, The Web, The Comet, The Jaguar, and Ted Tyler, the kind of heroic ensemble that defines Archie's action-oriented universe. Kelly's appearances span New Crusaders alongside those classic characters, placing her squarely within the publisher's superhero mythology rather than its small-town slice-of-life fare. With 35 years of history and a debut crafted by two of Archie's most beloved architects, Kelly Brand is a quietly intriguing corner of a publisher far richer and stranger than casual fans might expect.
