Mr. Andrews

Mr. Andrews is Archie's dependable, mild-mannered father, a fixture of Riverdale family life since the early days of the Archie Comics universe. A steady, working-class dad, he does his best to guide his famously mischief-prone son through the everyday chaos of teen life.

Few characters can claim they were there from the very beginning, but Mr. Andrews has been a fixture of Archie Comics since the landmark first issue in 1942 — a Golden Age original brought to life by the legendary Bob Montana. Over more than eight decades, this Riverdale stalwart has kept remarkable company, sharing pages with the likes of Reggie Mantle, Moose Mason, Pop Tate, Mr. Weatherbee, and Mr. Lodge across beloved digest staples like Laugh Comics Digest and Archie's Double Digest Magazine. With a key issue to his name and nearly 100 catalog appearances spanning 1942 to 2024, he's a quiet constant in one of comics' most enduring universes — the kind of character who reminds you just how deep and rich Riverdale's roots really run.
