Mark Waid :
« As a boy who grew up in Tupelo, Mississippi, I’ve been a rock-origins aficionado my entire life. Archie: 1955 is my chance to visit that era I so love, and do it with an Archie spin. As with Archie: 1941, we’re very true to the time while telling a story in a modern way that’s exciting and dramatic. Using Archie as a lens through which to really examine the beginnings of rock ‹ n › roll is a blast. »
