Squint

Squint is a member of the Explorers of the Unknown, an action-adventure team set in the Archie Comics universe alongside companions Spike, Angel, Gizmo, Red, and Wheels — offering a bold departure from Riverdale's typical slice-of-life stories.

Debuting in 1989's Archie Giant Series Magazine #599, Squint is a Copper Age creation from the Archie Comics universe, brought to life by writer Rich Margopoulos and artist Rex Lindsey. This adventurous character found their home primarily in Explorers of the Unknown, a series that gave the Archie universe a bold, action-adventure flavor quite distinct from the usual Riverdale fare. Squint keeps lively company with characters like Spike, Angel, Gizmo, Red, and Wheels, a roster that hints at the ensemble spirit of those globe-trotting tales. With appearances stretching all the way to 2013, Squint represents a fun, underappreciated corner of the Archie world well worth seeking out for collectors who love discovering the publisher's more adventurous side.
