ARCHIE ALL-STARS VOLUME 3: THE
CARTOON LIFE OF CHUCK CLAYTON
RIVERDALE'S RESIDENT CARTOONIST TAKES CENTER STAGE IN THIS
SPECIAL STORY!
Originally appearing in the pages of ARCHIE & FRIENDS #126
through #129, "The Cartoon Life of Chuck Clayton" focuses
on Chuck's efforts to share his artistic talents with neighborhood
kids, and the special relationships he develops as he teaches
cartooning. It all starts when Chuck is asked to teach an
after-school program in cartooning to elementary school kids... and
it isn't long before he learns the kids can be more hyperactive
than his doodles! But Chuck is determined to connect with the kids
and help them create the next comic book classics. Along the way,
he gets some help teaching from an unlikely source, and reaches out
to a troubled child known for spreading graffiti. Can Chuck's world
of collecting, drawing, and teaching kids how to make their own
comics take on new meaning? The answer's just a splash panel away!
This poignant tale comes courtesy of someone who knows their way
around both creating and teaching comics, namely acclaimed writer,
children's art advocate, and organizer of the world's only
"Kids' Comic" convention, Alex Simmons.
