Archie Comics will introduce Kevin Keller in an upcoming issue of its Veronica Comics series. Towleroad interviews creator Dan Parent about his genesis. I grew up with all these guys—but always took Archie's best pal Jughead for the gay one. No matter; Kevin's cuter! In issue #202, Veronica will develop a crush on the new kid at Riverdale High, only to discover that he likes boys. Coolio!
In this day and age, is another handsome, likeable, positive role-model gay character all that cutting edge? Maybe Reggie could come and in doing so, explain that his being a conceited jerk was a self-defence response to his denial.
