Little Ambrose

Little Ambrose is a young character in the Archie Comics universe, created by writer-artist Bob Bolling, who inhabits the same digest-format world as Archie Andrews and the Riverdale gang in light, humor-driven stories.

Debuting in 1990's Archie Giant Series Magazine #609 from the pen of the legendary Bob Bolling, Little Ambrose is a charming corner of the Archie universe who has quietly persisted across an impressive 35-year span. This Archie Comics creation shares digest pages with the whole beloved Riverdale crew — Archie Andrews, Jughead Jones, Betty Cooper, Veronica Lodge, and Reggie Mantle — making their home in the cozy, evergreen world of double digests that fans have treasured for generations. With appearances stretching from the Copper Age all the way into the mid-2020s, Little Ambrose is a testament to the enduring warmth of Archie's storytelling tradition. A modest but enduring presence, this is exactly the kind of hidden gem that makes digging through digest back issues such a rewarding adventure.
