About this title

About the Author:

DAN PARENT is an American comic book artist and writer best known for his work with Archie Comics, where he is an innovator behind some of Archie's biggest hits. Most notably, Parent is the writer/artist of the KEVIN KELLER series, which continues to receive widespread, positive media attention, most notably the  24TH ANNUAL GLAAD MEDIA AWARD FOR OUTSTANDING COMIC BOOK. He also was the writer of the story in which Archie fell for Valerie of Josie & the Pussycats, the artist of the OBAMA AND PALIN IN RIVERDALE, ARCHIE MEETS KISS and ARCHIE MEETS GLEE graphic novels.

From Booklist:

In this third volume of the adventures of Kevin Keller, George Takei is coming to Riverdale, but Kevin is at a comic-book convention in Smithville and doesn’t know he’s about to miss his hero. But that’s not the only story in this perennially cheery series entry: Kevin gets a car, but the upgrades the shop class gives it are a bit much. Elsewhere, he finds himself caught between his new boyfriend and a former secret admirer. There is a little tension when Kevin starts dating a young man who is still in the closet, but that is quickly glossed over to get back to the humor. Some of the jokes fall a bit flat (one about Veronica attending a comic-book convention comes too close to being a “fake-geek-girl” slam), but others are as timeless as Archie Comics themselves. Kevin Keller’s tales are squeaky clean and optimistic—Kevin is a gorgeous hunk but also an adorable dork; Veronica can be a bit shallow, but she’s ultimately a good friend—and that’s precisely their appeal. Grades 6-9. --Snow Wildsmith
