NEW YORK, N.Y. - Archie Comics is getting its first gay character.
The long-running comic announced Thursday that an issue out Sept. 1 will introduce its first "openly gay" character, Kevin Keller, to the student body at Riverdale High School.
The strapping blond will defeat Jughead in a burger eating contest, win the affection of Veronica and wrestle over how to gently rebuff her flirtations.
Jon Goldwater, co-CEO of Archie Comics, says the introduction of Kevin is "about keeping the world of Archie Comics current and inclusive."
