I caught part of an interview yesterday with the editor of East West and she touted an article in their latest issue (seen at right) in which they discuss the introduction of an Indian character, Raj Patel, to the Archie pantheon. (The article itself does not appear to be online, so I haven't read it personally.)
I don't recall hearing this news earlier, but there's a welcome of the character on ArchieComics.com from July. Kudos to the folks at Archie Comics for starting to get hip to racial diversity.
