Thanks to Fire & Water patron Michael Crouch for suggesting this topic! Shag, Siskoid and Paul discuss the late 1980s series The Maze Agency! Created by Mike W. Barr, and illustrated by a young Adam Hughes, it was a true “whodunit” mystery series. We discuss the art, the mysteries, and the realistic and developing relationship between the two protagonists. Along the way, we also share its publication history and mini-bios for Barr and Hughes. Come join us – the game is afoot!
