Marmaduke "Moose" Mason

Moose Mason is a gentle giant at Riverdale High — enormously strong but good-natured, he is fiercely devoted to his girlfriend Midge and is one of the core members of Archie's circle of friends.

Marmaduke "Moose" Mason is a beloved fixture of Riverdale, the iconic small-town universe that Archie Comics has been spinning stories around for generations — and this particular catalog entry captures him in the Modern Age, debuting in Archie Comics Digest #245 in 2008 under the creative hands of Frank Doyle and Chic Stone. Across titles like Life with Archie, Archie, and Archie Comics Digest, he keeps lively company with the whole Riverdale gang — Archie Andrews, Jughead Jones, Betty Cooper, Reggie Mantle, and Hiram Lodge among them. Though his appearance count here is modest, Moose is one of those enduring supporting players whose presence in any issue adds genuine warmth and personality to the world fans have cherished for decades. If you're building out a complete Riverdale collection, he's a name worth tracking down.
