George Takei, who played Sulu in the original Star Trek series, will appear in Archie Comics’ Kevin Keller #6, the August issue.  The story will have Keller meeting his hero Takei.  The appearance came about as a result of a chance meeting at a convention between Takei and Kevin Keller creator Dan Parent.

The appearance in the comic starring Archie’s gay character is a fit for Takei, who publicly acknowledged that he is gay in 2005.
