Archie & Friends #126

Chuck Clayton takes center stage — literally — as the cover of Archie & Friends #126 puts him front and center in a lively Cartooning Class, with Archie and a group of enthusiastic students crowding around him while paper airplanes and doodles fill the chalkboard behind him. It's the start of a four-part story, "The Cartoon Life of Chuck Clayton," and writer Alex Simmons teams with cover penciler Fernando Ruiz and inker Bob Smith to set a fun, energetic tone. If you've ever wanted to see Chuck get his well-deserved spotlight, this 2009 issue looks like a very good place to start.
