A Rejected Supernatural Admirer Made Archie’s Life a Nightmare: 10 Best Love Interests Who Aren’t Betty or Veronica

Dates beyond the love triangle

Archie met Alice Fleeble in “Well Placed Point,” a six-page story first published in February 1959. After boasting that he could get a date with any girl, he took up Jughead’s challenge to approach a name selected from a telephone directory.

Archie won Alice over while pretending to conduct a survey, but their brief fling ended because she had a close connection to Veronica. The story offered a short-lived detour from Archie’s familiar romantic rivalry.

Dreams, androids and nightmares

In Archie’s Weird Mysteries #9, published in 2000, a scientist built Lisi as an android designed around Archie’s preferences. The scientist used his photographs and scrapbooks to give her traits associated with Betty and Veronica, and Archie agreed to a steady relationship after their first movie date, unaware of the plan.

Maria Noct, the Dream Girl, met Archie in a dream and declared him her boyfriend after arranging an ideal day at Pop Tate’s. When he rejected her and said he preferred Betty and Veronica, she haunted their dreams and gave Archie nightmares that kept him from sleeping.

A journalist with superhero secrets

Olga Karpuchi, an exchange student from the Twelfth Dimension, attended Riverdale High and worked with Archie on the school newspaper. She quietly developed a crush on him, but the series never turned it into a romance.

Olga was also Supreme Girl, a superheroine who had followed Doctor Arachnid from her home dimension. Archie helped her stop the villain, while Veronica’s gossip threatened to expose Olga’s identity.

Sabrina Spellman, first introduced in Archie’s Madhouse #22 in 1962, is best known for magical stories and her romance with Harvey Kinkle. Nick Spencer’s 2019 Archie run instead revealed that she and Archie had secretly dated during the summer.

Archie #700 disclosed their relationship to readers, while issues #705 to #707 followed their public debut and revisited their courtship. Sabrina rescued Archie from wolves, and the two shared their first kiss.
