Kevin Keller, the first gay character in the history of the Archie comics, was introduced to Riverdale and the world in April of last year. Kevin quickly became one of the most popular characters in the comic’s 72-year history, starring in his own miniseries over the summer. And now he’s getting married. The January issue of Life of Archie will feature the marriage between Kevin and Clay Walker, a doctor he meets while recovering in a military hospital’s physical rehabilitation unit. Dan Parent, the creator of Kevin Keller, explains the significance of this event.
