Wedding Day Arrives for Kevin Keller
A much-anticipated event in the comics world is upon us the wedding of Kevin Keller, gay pal of Archie Andrews.
It was announced a few months ago that Kevins wedding would be featured in Life With Archie, a title that projects the future of Archie and his high school friends. The issue with Kevins nuptials was released Wednesday.
In the comic, Kevin marries Clay Walker, an African-American doctor he met while undergoing rehab for injuries he received while serving in the armed forces; Kevin has emulated his father, a military officer, by becoming a soldier. The issue portrays the friendship Kevin and Clay struck up in the hospital and the romance that developed as a result of a chance meeting afterward.
Kevin, introduced to the Archie universe a year ago, is also getting his own title portraying his high school life in the town of Riverdale, and officials with Archie Comics have said his dating life will figure in the series, as would any straight characters.
