San Diego Comic-Con 2013

I had the pleasure of appearing on the SDCC panel "A Look at Kevin Keller" panel alongside Archie Comics' President Mike Pellerito, Kevin Keller's creator Dan Parent, and out former Archie publicist Nina Kester. The panel was moderated by Prism Comics' President Ted Abenheim. For those of you who don't know, Kevin Keller is Archie Comics' out teen character who moved to Riverdale with much fanfare in 2010. As the creator of "Jayson," which has often been called the "gay Archie" and more recently the "spiritual godfather to Kevin Keller," I was asked to lend my perspective to how much things have changed since I created "Jayson" 30 years ago.

Here are the links to some of the coverage I received as a result of the panel:
