About this Collection

This volume collects issues #13-16 of the 2005 Scooby-Doo series from DC Comics, featuring the Mystery Inc. gang in four standalone adventures. The title story, 'The Big Squeeze!,' involves a giant snake terrorizing a carnival, while other tales include a ghostly pirate and a haunted museum. Written by various creators, these all-ages stories capture the classic cartoon's blend of humor and mild mystery-solving.

In "Almost Live from Big Puce," Shaggy journeys to Egypt after learning his archeologist uncle, Professor Henry Rogers, has vanished—presumed dead—during a dig. When the gang arrives for the reading of the will, the professor’s assistants and the executor disappear one by one, leaving behind cryptic clues that point to a trio of walking mummies, a mysterious hooded duo, and a giant cobra. Written by Jesse Leon McCann and illustrated by Joe Staton with inks by Andrew Pepoy, color by Paul Becton, and letters by John Costanza, this 2005 DC adventure blends classic mystery with eerie Egyptian intrigue, all wrapped in a cover by Joe Staton and Andrew Pepoy.
