Boy Culture tips us that George Takei features in the latest release by Archie Comics.
Takei was an Archie fan growing up in his preteen and teen years — with his faves being Archie and Jughead — but he never had the likes of Kevin, who acts as a role model for kids and teens who want to come out. “It’s reflecting the diversity of America, and embracing that diversity as a positive,” Takei says of his comic appearance. “There I am not only as a gay man but as an Asian-American gay man and I’m idolized by Kevin. Him and his gang travel to a sci-fi convention. How much more American can you be?”
