Red

Red is a member of the Explorers of the Unknown, an action-adventure team in the Archie Comics universe. Alongside teammates Spike, Angel, Gizmo, Squint, and Wheels, Red takes part in adventurous missions far removed from Riverdale's typical small-town setting.

Debuting in 1989's Archie Giant Series Magazine #599, Red is a Copper Age creation from Archie Comics, brought to life by Rich Margopoulos and Rex Lindsey as part of the adventurous Explorers of the Unknown corner of the Archie universe. Sharing pages with a colorful crew including Spike, Angel, Gizmo, Squint, and Wheels, Red is part of a distinctly action-oriented chapter in Archie's publishing history — a fun departure from Riverdale's familiar hallways. With appearances spread across Archie Comics Digest and Archie & Friends Double Digest Magazine over a span stretching into 2013, Red is a modest but genuine piece of Archie's adventurous side, well worth a look for collectors who love digging into the publisher's lesser-charted territory.
