Hilda Spellman

Debuting in the pages of Life with Archie #266 in 1988, Hilda Spellman is a Copper Age creation from the Archie Comics universe, brought to life by the legendary team of George Gladir and Stan Goldberg. She's carved out a presence across an impressive 35-year span — turning up everywhere from the gothic pages of Chilling Adventures of Sabrina to the digest-sized fun of Betty & Veronica — sharing the Archie universe with icons like Sabrina Spellman, Archie Andrews, and the whole Riverdale crew. A character with that kind of longevity and range, rubbing shoulders with some of comics' most beloved figures, is always worth a closer look on your shelf.
