Zippy

Brief but bright, Zippy made their Silver Age entrance in the pages of Archie's Madhouse #64 in 1968, courtesy of creator Gus Lemoine, right in the thick of Archie Comics' wonderfully zany humor era. With appearances spread across Archie's Madhouse and Mad House Ma-ad Jokes, Zippy inhabits a delightfully offbeat corner of the Archie universe, sharing those groovy pages with familiar faces like Archie Andrews, Betty Cooper, and Veronica Lodge alongside oddball company such as Lippy the Hippy and Dippy Didit. It's a small but charming footprint — just three catalog appearances — yet one of them carries genuine key-issue significance, making Zippy a fun little discovery for collectors who love hunting the quirkier edges of Silver Age Archie humor. A rare find with a collector's reward attached.
