Suzie

Few characters can claim roots stretching all the way back to the Golden Age and still be turning up in Archie Comics publications into the 2020s, but Suzie is exactly that kind of quietly enduring figure. Debuting in Top Notch Laugh Comics #28 in 1942, she emerged during the earliest, most formative years of Archie's humor-driven universe and carved out a presence across titles like Laugh Comics that would become cornerstones of the publisher's legacy. Over eight decades she's shared pages with some of the most beloved characters in American comics history — Archie Andrews, Betty Cooper, Veronica Lodge, Jughead Jones, and Reggie Mantle among them — which speaks to just how deeply woven into that world she is. With two collector-recognized key issues to her name and a publication history spanning 81 years, Suzie is a rewarding discovery for any fan who loves digging into the deeper, richer corners of Archie's Golden Age roots.
