Your Pal Archie #1, the debut issue of Archie Comics’ all-new classic series, will feature a variant cover that will debut exclusively at this year’s Flame Con convention, the world’s largest LGBTQ Comic Con. The con returns to NYC August 19th & 20th with a larger slate of geeky programming and an expanded roster of celebrity guests, artists and performances.

The exclusive variant cover, by series artist Dan Parent, also the writer/artist of Archie’s digital-first series Life With Archie, will be available to the first 1,000 attendees visiting Flame Con on Sunday, the show’s queer youth day — everyone under the age of 20 gets free admission.

This year’s Flame Con will be held at the New York Marriott at The Brooklyn Bridge (333 Adams St).
