Mr. Svenson 3000

A far-future version of Riverdale High's familiar janitor, Mr. Svenson 3000 inhabits the science-fiction world of Archie 3000, where the beloved gang's adventures continue a millennium from now alongside futuristic takes on Archie, Betty, Jughead, Veronica, and Weatherbee.

A far-future twist on a familiar face, Mr. Svenson 3000 made his debut in Archie 3000 #2 in 1989, the Copper Age reimagining that launched Archie Comics' beloved gang into a science-fiction tomorrow. Created by Hal Smith and Rex W. Lindsey, he keeps some wonderfully recognizable company — sharing pages with Archie 3000, Betty 3000, Jughead 3000, Veronica 3000, and Waldo Weatherbee 3000 — proof that even a millennium from now, certain faces are simply part of the scenery. With appearances stretching across digest collections well into 2011, this futuristic fixture is a charming curio for collectors who love seeing Riverdale's world stretched to its most imaginative limits.
