Background
In the story, the Amazing Joy Buzzards are a rock and roll adventure band that
fights evil in all its forms, comprising band members Biff Ashby, Gabe Carlyle
and Stevo Vargas. The band is managed by Dalton Warner of the Creative
International Artists Agency, which is really the Central Intelligence Agency,
unbeknownst to the band. Dalton uses the band as a cover to get into places he
might otherwise be unable to. He also uses the band's knack for defeating
supernatural evils to his advantage. Gabe carries an amulet which can summon the
mythical Mexican wrestler El Campeon.
