[ID: old comic book of a red haired guy with freckles standing on a bike with his arms crossed saying "just a matter of skill that's all" near him is a young blonde girl in a white shirt and red skirt, across the street is a dog looking towards them. the word Archie is in big bold red letters on top END ID]

Today's Public Domain Character: Archie Andrews

Archie and the rest of the gang are public domain as the copyright for early Pep Comics which they made their debut in was not renewed and therefore wouldve had their copyright lapsed around 1970.

Now the more iconic look of the characters are under copyright but the basics of those characters are still public domain, the premise of archie vying for the attention of both betty cooper and veronica lodge is still there.

Jughead, Reggie, Katy Keene, the gang's all here for the most part and they didnt really change much personality wise with the redesigns that came way later on.

Characters such as Sabrina or Cheryl Blossom that were introduced way later are not in the public domain.

Sidenote: People who claim public domain produces nothing but horror versions of beloved characters, i mean...Archie Comics been doing horror versions of Archie characters for a long time, thats like half their lineup.

Plus Riverdale is...certainly a thing...
