A character in the Archie Comics universe is getting a transgender rebrand as part of an effort to make the series "a little bit more queer."
In the new series starring "Strange Science" character Danni Malloy, who was known as the love interest to main character Dilton Doiley and sidekick Jinx Holliday, will be now be a transgender woman in a new comic.
Publisher Archie Comics announced on May 15th that Malloy would be making an appearance in its Chilling Adventures anthology, according to a Gizmodo’s io9 report. The series is written by trans comic writer Magdalene Visaggio and illustrated by artist Butch Mapa.
Visaggio told the outlet that she has been wanting "to make this happen for a long time," thanking publisher, Archie, for never pushing back on her plans to make their books "a little bit more queer."
"I never wanted Danni’s trans identity to be gimmicky, or for her to feel like she was only created to be trans," Visaggio explained to io9. "So, I’d like to apologize for sneaking her over the line like this."
"I’m honored I got to make it happen, and I’m grateful to Archie for never, not even once, pushing back on my insistence on making their books a little bit more queer," she added. "I hope Danni finds a good home at Archie with supportive writers and artists helping to keep her alive for years to come."
Mapa said he felt honored to be illustrating the comic, even before he learned what the story was about.

I thought Jughead would have been a tranny. How long has it been since heband Ethel were seen in the same room at the same time?
All the rejection resident nerd Dilton Doiley received has made him pretty desperate.
Any way they can destroy the family / community wholesomeness of the 1950s has been the lefts target for decades
I expect them to re-release original “Leave It to Beaver” episodes with Eddie Hascal recast as a trannie.
All part of the normalization of perversion
Archie was great when I was growing up, now LIBERALS, like everything else they get their hands on it, ruins it.
Archie and Reggie like Veronica
Betty likes Archie
And there’s also Jughead the dopey one
Yes I used to love those comics
😁
Archie is still a thing?
Comic books target market hasn't been kids since the early 2000's. It's all middle aged fanboys.
I’m almost afraid to guess what they have in mind for Josie and the ***cough! cough!*** Pussycats....
