Tradicional historieta “Archie” incluirá a un personaje
homosexual

Los Angeles – (AFP)... Archie, la popular historieta protagonizada por un adolescente
pelirrojo y su grupo de amigos, tendrá su primer protagonista abiertamente
homosexual, anunciaron el viernes sus editores.

El comic, lanzado en la década de 1940 y muy popular durante varias generaciones de
estadounidenses, sigue las aventuras de los estudiantes Archie, Betty, Verónica,
Torombolo y Carlos, entre otros, en la ficticia ciudad de Riverdale.

Ahora los personajes adolescentes recibirán a un nuevo compañero de clase, Kevin
Keller, en una decisión que busca reflejar la realidad del mundo actual, indicó el
codirector ejecutivo de Archie Comics, Jon Goldwater.

“La introducción de Kevin busca mantener el mundo de Archie Comics vigente e
inclusivo”, indicó Goldwater en un comunicado.

El personaje de Kevin Keller aparecerá en la próxima edición de “Verónica”, un
derivado de Archie.

Luego que Kevin derrota a Torombolo en un concurso para
comer hamburguesas, Verónica se siente atraída por él, pero es
rechazada.

First Openly Gay Character for Archie - Veronica Comics

Archie Comic Book has a new openly gay character whose name is Kevin Keller.
He is hot and you can already imagine how Veronica will be in a tizzy because she
cannot attract this hunky guy. This is the first story line for Kevin when he joins the
group, according to The Washington Post.

Archie Comic New Gay Character's Name is Kevin Keller

Kevin Keller, the gay character, will join Archie, Jug Head, and the rest of the crew
starting in September. He will start back to school at Riverdale High.

Everyone understands Kevin's romantic preferences except for Veronica, but that is
so understandable, if she is the same Veronica from my comic books thirty years
ago.

The comic book is catching up with the times and finally going to have more of a
real representation of the groups that make up society today.

Kevin Keller Puzzles Veronica And Buddies Up With Jug Head Around Food

According to The Washington Post, the new character, Kevin, seems to hit it off well
with the very old character, Jug Head.
Their connection seems to be food.

Archie Comic Has Budget Cut That Closes Down A School - That's How Kevin
Keller Comes to Riverdale High

In the comic book world of Riverdale, another high school will be shutting down due
to budget cuts, bringing fifty new students to Riverdale High. This is how Kevin
comes to the Riverdale campus. This is another nice touch in keeping up with
realistic times.
Archie Comics started in the winter of 1942, which makes these high school kids
old enough to be great grandparents today.

Kevin Keller's character would most likely have called for a banishing of the comic
book in 1942. That was still back in the day where a man and a woman could not
be in the same bed together on TV without having one foot on the floor.





Os quadrinhos 'Archie comics' terão seu 1º personagem
gay

NOVA YORK - A clássica história em quadrinhos "Archie Comics" vai lançar seu
primeiro personagem gay. Publicada desde 1941, a HQ anunciou que a edição de
1º de setembro vai apresentar um personagem "abertamente gay": Kevin Keller,
um estudante da Riverdale High School.

O loiro e forte vai derrotar o personagem Jughead em um concurso para saber
quem come mais hamburgueres, conquistando o afeto de Veronica, recusando
gentilmente suas "cantadas".

Jon Goldwater, CEO de "Archie comics" disse que a criação de Kevin tem a ver
com "manter o mundo da Archie Comics atual e abrangente".
