Professional History

Aguirre-Sacasa grew up liking comic books. He began writing for Marvel Comics and he was signed for the Fantastic Four, with the first issues published early in 2004. The 11-page Fantastic Four story "The True Meaning of..." was in Marvel Holiday Special 2004 #1. He went on to write Fantastic Four stories in Marvel Knights 4, a spinoff of that superhero team's long-running title; and stories for Nightcrawler (Vol. 3); Sensational Spider-Man (Vol. 2); and Dead of Night Featuring Man-Thing.

In May 2008 Aguirre-Sacasa returned to the Fantastic Four with a miniseries tie-in to the company-wide "Secret Invasion" storyline concerning a years-long infiltration of Earth by the shape-shifting alien race, the Skrulls and an Angel Revelations miniseries with artists Barry Kitson and Adam Polina, respectively.

In 2013, he created Afterlife with Archie, depicting Archie Andrews in the midst of a zombie apocalypse; the book's success led to Aguirre-Sacasa being named Archie Comics' chief creative officer.
