Mrs. Mantle

Mrs. Mantle is the mother of Reggie Mantle, Riverdale's resident schemer and prankster. A supporting character in the Archie universe, she represents the suburban home life behind her son's mischievous antics.

A familiar face in the warm, humor-filled world of Riverdale, Mrs. Mantle made her debut in the Silver Age pages of Reggie's Wise Guy Jokes #10 in 1969, stepping into a universe already buzzing with the antics of Archie Andrews, Jughead Jones, Betty Cooper, Veronica Lodge — and of course, her own notorious son Reggie. Over more than five decades, she's turned up across beloved Archie staples like Archie's Pals 'n' Gals and Archie's Double Digest Magazine, a quietly enduring presence in one of comics' most cheerful and long-running universes. With a key issue among her 23 catalog appearances, she's a small but genuine piece of Riverdale history — the kind of supporting character that dedicated collectors and longtime fans know adds real texture to the town they love.
