Billy Banes: Sidekick for Hire

In the fun-loving world of Dial R Studios, Billy Banes: Sidekick for Hire (2008–present) flips the superhero script by focusing on a professional sidekick-for-hire navigating a single, self-contained issue. Crafted by writer Barry C. Miller with energetic art from Alberto Madrigal, this debut establishes a lighthearted, character-driven premise that pokes affectionate fun at the sidekick's role in the larger hero ecosystem. It's a charming, one-shot snapshot of an idea that has quietly persisted as a cult curiosity.
