Hiram Lodge 3000

A far-future twist on one of Riverdale's most recognizable figures, Hiram Lodge 3000 made his Bronze Age debut in Archie at Riverdale High #10 in 1973, brought to life by the classic Archie creative team of Frank Doyle and Harry Lucey. This futuristic incarnation shares his adventures with the likes of Veronica 3000, Archie 3000, and Betty 3000, suggesting that even a millennium from now, the familiar dynamics of Riverdale endure in some form. Appearing across titles like Archie 3000 and Archie Annual Digest and persisting in the catalog all the way through 2018, he's a charming curiosity — proof that Archie Comics' fondness for imaginative, era-spanning storytelling has always been part of its DNA.
