Dan Parent (born 1964) is an American comic book artist and writer[1] best known for his work for Archie Comics. A graduate of The Kubert School, Parent began working for Archie immediately after graduation. His writing of the Love Showdown series from 1994 received widespread attention. Parent has also illustrated Felix the Cat, Barbie, Disney Adventures, and with Fernando Ruiz, created the comic series Die Kitty Die.[2]

Career

In 2010 Parent introduced the first openly gay character in Archie Comics when he created Kevin Keller in Veronica #202, which he wrote and drew.

Kevin Keller got his own title with the publication of Kevin Keller #1 in 2012.

Parent was nominated for a 2013 Harvey Award for Special Award for Humor in Comics.[4][5]

In 2015, Parent illustrated the comic Archie vs. Sharknado, a tie-in to Sharknado 3: Oh Hell No! written by the film’s director, Anthony C. Ferrante.[6]

In 2016, Parent along with artist/writer Fernando Ruiz published Die Kitty Die[7] which was funded through Kickstarter.

Dan illustrated the 2018 6-part crossover “Archie Meets Batman ’66“[8]. It was a joint publication between Archie Comics and DC Comics, and was collected in trade format in March of 2019.
