Archie Comics debuts Philippine-exclusive cover and new character at SuperManila Comic Con 2025

Manila, Philippines – July 1, 2025 - The iconic Archie Comics and SuperManila Comic Con, the country’s premier celebration of pop culture, are thrilled to unveil a landmark collaboration: an exclusive Philippine variant cover of Betty & Veronica comics.

Created especially for SuperManila Comic Con 2025, the limited-edition comic reimagines one of Archie’s most iconic scenes with a Filipino twist. Illustrated by longtime Archie artist and writer Dan Parent, the cover pays homage to the classic “three on a straw” image—where Archie, Betty, and Veronica share a milkshake—but with a distinctly Pinoy flavor. Betty and Veronica are shown holding spoonfuls of shaved ice and ube ice cream, while Archie is nibbling on a stick of barquillos from a tall glass of colorful halo-halo, capturing the charm of Riverdale through a uniquely Filipino lens.

Launched in 2019, SuperManila Comic Con celebrates Filipino creativity in comics, entertainment and pop culture! This epic two-day event offers a deep dive into the incredible world of Filipino artists making a major impact in comics, animation, film, collectibles, and more. From legendary creators to rising stars, SuperManila Comic Con showcases the full spectrum of talent shaping the future of entertainment
