Wheels

Wheels is a member of the Explorers of the Unknown, an action-adventure team in the Archie Comics universe featuring companions like Spike, Gizmo, Red, and Angel — offering a more daring, adventure-focused corner of the Archie line.

Meet Wheels, a character who rolled into the Archie Comics universe in 1989 via Archie Giant Series Magazine #599, brought to life by creators Rich Margopoulos and Rex Lindsey right at the dawn of the Copper/Modern Age. Part of the adventurous Explorers of the Unknown corner of the Archie line, Wheels keeps lively company alongside characters like Spike, Gizmo, Red, and Angel — a crew that signals something a bit more action-packed than your average Riverdale afternoon. Spread across digest favorites like Archie Comics Digest and Archie & Friends Double Digest Magazine over a surprisingly long 24-year publishing window, Wheels is a rewarding find for collectors who love digging into the wider, wilder edges of the Archie universe beyond the soda shop.
