Mac
Stepping out of the sunny, small-town world of Riverdale, Mac made their comic book debut way back in 1946 — a genuine Golden Age original from Archie Comics — and has been popping up across the publisher's beloved lineup ever since. With a run stretching an impressive 77 years, Mac is the kind of recurring presence that gives the Archie universe its warm, lived-in texture, appearing most frequently in Life with Archie, Archie Giant Series Magazine, and Laugh Comics. Along the way, Mac has shared pages with the whole iconic Riverdale crew — Archie Andrews, Veronica Lodge, Betty Cooper, and Jughead Jones — as well as the charming Li'l Jinx. Two of Mac's appearances even carry key-issue status, a quiet badge of honor for a character who's been part of comics history longer than most fans have been alive.

Trivia
- Frank Doyle has written more of Mac's comics than any other writer in our catalog — 25 issues.
