Oni Press is coming to Charm City this September, and we’re bringing a cast of Riverdale’s biggest comic book icons along for the ride! From Friday, September 25th through Sunday, September 27th, join Oni Press live at the Baltimore Convention Center for Baltimore Comic-Con 2026 for a weekend packed with panels, exclusives, and truly special surprises!
First: Oni is proud to reveal not one, but two never-before seen Archie #1 exclusives debuting at Baltimore Comic-Con, spotlighting the brand-new beginning for America’s favorite teenager – the one and only Archie Andrews – in the pages of Oni Press’ all-new ongoing series from New York Times bestselling writer Ben H. Winters and multiple Eisner Award-winning artist Fábio Moon.
Featuring brand-new art by cover artist Shawn Kuruneru, pick up this stunning rendition of Riverdale’s most famous faces in this Baltimore-exclusive variant edition, available for purchase at the Baltimore Comic-Con Exclusives Booth at the entrance to the convention floor.
In partnership with Baltimore Comic-Con’s signature awards show, the Ringo Awards, Oni Press also has revealed another extremely special Archie #1 exclusive that will serve as the first-ever, dedicated Ringo Awards variant cover and feature the late Mike Wieringo’s rarely seen 2007 character redesign for Archie and Jughead for the first time in print. This extremely rare Archie #1 variant cover will only be made available in gift bags for attendees of the 2026 Ringo Awards and will never be sold at commercial retail. Mike Wieringo’s artwork appears courtesy of the Wieringo family.
