Life with Archie #225
In "A Nose for News," Archie takes a shot at proving himself on the school paper, only to be stuck with chores while Reggie assigns him a real scoop—tracking down a reclusive philosopher named Singh Songh, who despises reporters. But when Singh Songh unexpectedly takes a liking to Archie’s red hair, the unlikely duo uncovers a story that puts Archie in the spotlight. Written by Frank Doyle and brought to life with vibrant energy by Stan Goldberg (pencils and inks), Barry Grossman (colors), and Bill Yoshida (letters), this 1981 issue captures the charm and humor of the Archie universe, with Goldberg’s distinctive cover adding a classic touch.
