The Fox

The Fox is a Golden Age costumed hero who debuted in 1941, making him one of Archie Comics' earliest superhero characters. He emerged during the original wave of comic-book crimefighters that defined the era.

Born in the pages of Blue Ribbon Comics #9 in 1941, The Fox is a genuine Golden Age original from Archie's storied superhero stable, conjured up by Joe Blair and Sam Cooper at a moment when costumed champions were electrifying newsstands across America. What makes this character genuinely special is the sheer staying power — a publication history stretching all the way to 2023 means The Fox has outlasted trends, reboots, and entire eras of comics history. Sharing adventures with luminaries like The Shield, The Comet, and The Web places The Fox squarely in Archie's rich heroic tradition, and appearances in New Crusaders alongside that distinguished company only underscore the character's enduring place in that universe. For collectors with a taste for Golden Age heritage and the Archie superhero lineage, The Fox is a rewarding discovery — a piece of comics history still very much in circulation.
