Archie & Friends #143

In "Chuck Freshman Year," Chuck finds himself unexpectedly confronted with a long-buried high school prank when a famous rap star claims he was insulted by a series of self-made comics Chuck once created. As he sifts through those old drawings, he’s forced to confront the past with a mix of nostalgia and growing unease—wondering just how far a joke from a decade ago might have gone. Written by Batton Lash and illustrated by Bill Galvan, with inks by Al Milgrom, colors by Glenn Whitmore, and letters by Jack Morelli, this story captures the humor and awkwardness of teenage missteps, all rendered in a vibrant, nostalgic style. The cover by Bill Galvan and Al Milgrom perfectly captures the lighthearted yet slightly nervous energy of the moment.
