Archie #561

In "It's My Life!", Archie faces a classic high-stakes dilemma: racing to the school shop with only his hands as a ruler, he must keep his measurements exact—no adjustments, no second chances. Written by Fernando Ruiz and brought to life with vibrant energy by Stan Goldberg’s art and Bob Smith’s inks, this 2005 issue captures the small, heartfelt chaos of teenage responsibility, all under Barry Grossman’s warm colors and Vickie Williams’ crisp lettering. The cover, penciled by Goldberg and inked by Jon D'Agostino, perfectly captures Archie’s determined stride.
