Its the Red Circle, a name pulled froman imprint of Archie Comics Publicationsin the late 1970s.
We were trying to come up with different names for Archies vigilante group, show creator Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa explained.
But we wanted to go more old-school, so thats where we got the name the Red Circle.
The Black Hood was one of the Red Circles heroes sort of anti-heroes, Aguirre-Sacasa explained.
InBreaking Bad, remember they had the blue crystal?
Okay, well, so they invented that forBreaking Bad, so what could ours be?
And then I was like, lets do jingle jangle.
Its so perverse that its in Pixy Stix.
We wanted it really to get underneath everyones fear and paranoia.
