Sam

Stepping into the warm, nostalgic world of Archie Comics during the Modern Age, Sam made their debut in Life with Archie #2 in 2010, brought to life by the creative team of Paul Kupperberg and Norm Breyfogle. That series offered a more mature, serialized take on the beloved Riverdale universe, and Sam found a place within it alongside familiar faces like Jughead Jones, Betty Andrews, Reggie Mantle, and Pop Tate. With only a handful of appearances, Sam is a quiet corner of Archie lore — the kind of discovery that rewards readers who dive deep into this thoughtful, grown-up chapter of comics' most enduring small town.
