CONCEPT: The Amazing Joy Buzzards are a rock-and-roll adventure band to rival such legends as The Beatles and The Rolling Stones. It's all in a hard day's night to fight giant robots and evil witchdoctors, all the while exploring supernatural phenomena with the help of their mythical Mexican wrestler friend El Campeon.

THIS ISSUE: "I was a Teenage Gila Monster!" It may seem like any other dynamic concert for The Amazing Joy Buzzards, but a menacing pink robot with a thirst for revenge has managed to sneak backstage and slip something sinister into the drink of Stevo, the bass player. Once consumed, the nefarious concoction mutates Stevo into a giant Gila Monster! The mutated Gila-Stevo runs amok through the city in an epic rampage the likes of which not seen since Godzilla. The remaining members of the band must find a way to locate and rescue their giant-sized bandmate before it's too late! What are the intentions of the evil pink robot and why does he want The Amazing Joy Buzzards dead? Will our gang make it to Stevo before he meets a King Kong-esque fate? Don't miss the first smackdown issue of THE AMAZING JOY BUZZARDS!
