Isn't it Bromantic?Archie Comics will spin off Archie's gay pal Kevin Keller into his own comic...
Is this merely a publicity stunt??
Or could such a thing be sustainable and actually make a profit...?
No doubt the opening issue will be a HUGE collector's item!!
More at New York Times' Gay Character Gets His Own Comic Book.
My duh prediction is that Kevin will never be another Wendel... (Created by my brilliant friend Howard Cruse)
His The Complete Wendel is on sale now... If you want to see a real gay comic character...
Says Howard, "Every episode of my Wendel comic strip series, which was regularly featured in The Advocate during the 1980s, will be waiting to be savored (or re-savored) in The Complete Wendel, along with a new introduction by Alison Bechdel and my newly-drawn orgy of cartooned speculation, "Where Are They Now?"
I wonder what comic icon Frank Miller thinks about all of this??
Next time I pass Frank outside on a Hell's Kitchen neighborhood street (he's a Hell's Kitchen neighbor), perhaps I'll ask him... LOL
Update: Wonder Man reported on the Gays in Comics Panel at Comic Con and reports that Kevin Keller comic will deal with issues such as Don't Ask Don't Tell and Gay Marriage.
