Burger Force by Jackie Ryan
Burger Force is an Aurealis Award-winning comic book series about an undercover espionage agency that serves up fries and spies.
Jackie Ryan was once fist-bumped by Adam West. She writes, directs, photographs and designs the Aurealis Award-winning Burger Force comic book series (also twice shortlisted in the Ledger Awards for Excellence in Australian Comics), and is the founding editor of the comedy collective the Fanciful Fiction Auxiliary. She holds a PhD in History and Political Science from The University of Queensland and is the author of We’ll Show the World: Expo 88 (UQP), which won two gongs at the 2018 Queensland Literary Awards. She is also the recipient of a 2018 Queensland Writers Fellowship. But mostly she thinks about that time she was fist-bumped by Adam West.

It is written, directed, designed, photographed, edited, produced, location-scouted, costume-designed, and a bunch of other control-freak stuff by Jackie Ryan. Read more here

Such crimes include (but are not limited to) nefarious dating agency schemes, assassin line-dancers, and cock-rockers gone (even more) wrong. Read more here
