Archie Comics star Kevin Keller joins the It gets Better campaign today, and a social media blitz is occurring, on Tumblr, FacePlace, and Twitter.

Below you can see Dan Parent, the writer and artist of Kevin, explain the genesis and growth of this groundbreaking character.

Hopefully, the enormous success of Kevin's coming out will prompt other comic characters to do the same. Richie Rich, Beetle Bailey ... Little Dot.
