Archie: The Married Life Book Three was banned in March after a complaint from a member of the public triggered a content review, the Media Development Authority (MDA) said in a statement.

The volume, made up of six issues of the Life with Archie series, features the marriage of Kevin Keller, a friend of the iconic Archie Andrews character, and his African American boyfriend Clay Walker.

The MDA said it assessed the book “upon receiving a complaint and found its content to be in breach of guidelines because of its depiction of the same-sex marriage of two characters in the comic”. (HC)
