A classic Archie Comics' character is making her return in a groundbreaking new one-shot for the publisher. Chilling Adventures Presents...Strange Science #1 sees the return of Danni Malloy, reinterpreted as Archie's first trans character.
In an exclusive with io9, Archie Comics revealed details on its upcoming one-shot Chilling Adventures Presents...Strange Science #1. The one-shot will be written by Magdalene Visaggio and drawn by Butch Mappa. The new comic updates a classic Archie title, Dilton's Strange Science, and brings back one of its featured characters, Danni Malloy. In a major first for the company, Danni is being reinterpreted as a trans woman.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Archie Comics Brings Back Danni Malloy as its First Trans Character Danni's reintroduction to the Archie Universe comes hot on the heels of her recent appearance in Archie's Free Comic Book Day offering, Archie Horror Presents: The Cursed Library. Danni is shown to be the best friend of Jinx Holliday, another classic Archie character that was also recently brought back into the modern-day Archie Comics.
But the latest addition to the Archie Horror line isn't just about resurrecting a title that hasn't been seen in years. It's giving a character from Archie's large roster an update that adds to the brand's growing diverse roster. Archie Comics has done exceptionally well at providing good LGBTQ+ representation in its books, adding in openly gay characters like Kevin Keller and officially confirming Jughead as asexual.
Danni Malloy Proves Archie Comics Are For Everyone Not only has Archie Comics pumped new life into the brand with its many different spins on the horror genre, but the publisher has also made a concentrated effort to bring Riverdale into the 21st century with characters that better reflect a more modern population. Trans characters have slowly been introduced into several mainline books, but Archie is doing a real service by putting Danni Malloy front and center in her own one-shot.
