This issue was, hands down, the craziest thing Matt and I have ever written – and, for those keeping score at home, we sent the Archies back in time to meet the Ramones. This adventure is off the wall, fun, quirky and loaded with heart – just like the Monkees themselves! No time travel, no alternate dimensions, but tons of fun. We had a great time having the Monkees show the Archies the ropes and it was spectacular to see artist Joe Eisma and colorist Matt Herms stretch their artistic muscles on this one. Hope you guys dig it.

This issue was one of the most fun and wonderfully bizarre comics I’ve ever drawn, thanks to a very exciting script from Alex Segura and Matthew Rosenberg.  I’ve never shifted between art styles in a comic like this, and it was a nice change of pace.  I still can’t believe I got the chance to draw a comic with The Monkees in it!  Expect the unexpected with this one!
