The deal also applies to lesser known characters that the company has published comics for, including Katy Keene, a model/actress/singer who made her comic debut in 1945, Wilbur Wilkin, a character which actually debuted before Archie, The Mighty Crusaders, who are the equivalent of the Avengers or The Justice League, Li’l Jinx, and the superheroes of the Archie Comics Dark Circle imprint.
Word of the Archie Comics and Warner Bros. Television deal came down today, and it could mean that we’ll soon be seeing a lot more of the Archie Comics characters on the small screen before too long.
So, while we could see a new show focused on Sabrina the Teenage Witch or a Riverdale spinoff that focuses on Josie and the Pussycats, this new deal applies to more than just the denizens of Riverdale and nearby towns.
