Written by Andrew Pepoy, Randy Zimmerman, Tony Hatzigiannakis, and Tyler Walpole. Art by Andrew Pepoy, Randy Zimmerman, and Tyler Walpole.

Together they engage in grave and solemn exploits such as saving Christmas by beating up a comic publisher or helping to quell an uprising of angry cherubs at an art museum. Andrew Pepoys whimsical creation is the lead-off strip in Arrow Comics anthology title, Arrow Spotlight, which also features Talonback, a hapless adventurer who succeeds in spite of himself. 32 pages, B&W.
