Entirely illustrated by Cesar Madarro, Big Bang Adventures #30 contains a story that the two of us collaborated on a couple of years ago just for fun.

I always wondered what they did for a living that afforded them that kind of schedule. This story addresses that.
I'm also happy this would up in a Big Bang comic. I supported their intentions and their initial comics back in 1994 and still have my Big Bang membership kit, including the mask.

I assume, but could be wrong, that this is the same collection that was originally published in 2019. If so, the stories included which I wrote are "A Wolf in Creep's Clothing" and "Yankee Doodle Danger."
