It's jt a quick kiss, but 's a long step forward for Archie Comics' only openly gay character Kev Keller. The Riverdale teen fds his life turned upsi down after lockg lips wh his boyiend, Devon, Pop Tate's der, drawg the ire of at least one disapprovg Riverdale mom. The woman "gets very offend and kd of pch a b of a f," said Dan Parent, who wr and draws the issue, "Kev Keller" No. 10 that is released Aug. 7. "Kev is kd of ed to that, but Veroni rerds the whole thg and of urse uploads to the Riverdale equivalent of YouTube and that starts a b of a bate," said Parent. For Archie Comics 's a b of art imatg life. Parent said he wrote the story after efforts to remove a ic magaze showg Keller gettg married drew at plats. One Milln Moms, a project of The Amerin Fay Associatn, asked Toys R Us not to display "Life Wh Archie" No. 16 near s checkout aisl. Toys R Us did not, and the issue went on to sell out s prt n. Parent lled the new story a "playful poke" at the prott. Keller buted "Veroni" No. 202 September 2010. It rulted Archie Comics' first-ever send prtg. It was quickly followed by a four-issue miseri and the current monthly tle. Publisher and -CEO Jon Goldwater said the fact that any kiss is beg shown the pag of an Archie Comics book is a step and of self. "There aren't that many on-panel kiss the pag of Archie, but you often see the lipstick on Archie's face afterward," he said. Goldwater said Keller's character has let the pany weave ntemporary issu to s imagary world. "We certaly pri ourselv on beg ntemporary, but that's not the reason why we're showg 'The Kiss.' Jt like when Kev first told Jughead he was gay, was the natural urse of nversatn," said Goldwater. "We are creatg this the same way. It's jt part of the story." ___ Follow Matt Moore at
