The Cartoon Life of Chuck Clayton

In this, the third installment of the brand-new Archie All-Stars line, cartooning aficionado Chuck Clayton takes center stage, showing the world how far his drawing skills can take him! When Chuck is asked to teach an after-school cartooning class, he is extremely dubious. But with his girlfriend Nancy's encouragement, and some pep talks from his parents, Chuck gives teaching a shot. His first class is not quite the welcoming response he had been hoping for, but in time, Chuck learns the ins and outs of teaching young students the exciting world of comic book art. From there, Chuck's life becomes exceedingly more complex, as he leaves school to teach full time, submits his work for competitive comic book contests, and deals with a student defiling public property! It's an epic tale brought to you by fan-favorite writer Alex Simmons, the man responsible for the "Archie World Tour" story arc in Archie & Friends #117-120, and penciled by Archie veteran Fernando Ruiz, with inks by Al Nickerson.
