George Takei Goes to Riverdale?

  A Star Trek living legend will boldly go…to Riverdale this week. George Takei will guest star in Kevin Keller #6 from Archie Comics according to BuzzFeed.

  Cartoonist Dan Parent pitched the idea to Takei at a recent comic book convention so Riverdale’s most famous gay resident could meet his hero. Takei came out in 2005, married his long-time partner Brad Altman in 2008 and has been a champion for marraige equality and fighting bullying and homophobia.

  Kevin Keller recruits Jughead to go in search of  the Star Trek star at a convention but “Oh My” Takei has a big surprise for the Riverdale gang this week!

  Before Marvel married an X-Man and DC made a Green Lantern gay, Archie Comics was nominated for a GLAAD media award for creating Kevin Keller. The first openly gay character in Riverdale now has his own series and made mainstream headlines for the gay dream wedding issue.

  I was very lucky to meet George Takei and his partner at this year’s Emerald City Comicon. I chose the U.S.S. Excelsior photo to be autographed!
