ASK
THE ARCHIVIST
December
Hey, all you Archie-information seekers out there -- you've
come to the right place! It's another installment of "Ask
the Archivist" with Archie Comics' resident archivist,
Paul Castiglia.
Today's
question comes from Kforest who asks:
"When
was Cheryl Blossom's first appearance?"
 Cheryl
originally burst upon the Archie universe in BETTY & VERONICA
#320 (Oct. 1982). Shaking things up on the beach, it was quite
an auspicious debut. However, it wasn't until her fifth appearance
in BETTY & VERONICA #322 (Feb. 1983) that she was formally
introduced to Archie Andrews.
Cheryl
continued to make appearances through 1984, then wasn't seen
again for another 10 years, when she returned in the landmark
"Love Showdown" storyline. In that epic tale, Archie
received a mysterious love letter, propelling Betty and Veronica
into a "once and for all" battle for Archie's affections.
In the end, only one was left standing, and in a surprising
move, Archie chose neither Betty nor Veronica, but the mysterious
letter author instead: CHERYL BLOSSOM! The popularity of this
storyline lead to a series of specials and mini-series for Cheryl,
culminating in Cheryl getting her own ongoing series which continues
to this day.
