Masked Vigilante: a personalized comic book gift
By day, a mild-mannered account manager. By night, the shadow that keeps the city's parking spaces honest. This story gives your hero a mask, a rooftop to brood on and a long coat that flaps dramatically whether or not there is any wind. They hunt down a crime boss, swing between gargoyles and leave a calling card at every scene, while still making it to work on time. Their face, half-hidden but unmistakable, is on every page. Tell us their nickname and it might end up on the calling card.

Questions about this comic
Can their day job be the secret identity?
Yes. Their real job from the hero questions can become the cover story, so a dentist, an accountant or a teacher leads a very dramatic double life. Add their nickname or catchphrase in the 'anything special' field and it might become the line they growl at villains.
Can it be dark and moody but still fine to give at work?
Yes. The story can bring the shadows and the rain, but the content stays PG-13: cartoon fights, no gore, nobody seriously hurt. Say in your answers whether you want it serious and brooding, or whether everyone knows they are more cuddly than caped and the jokes should show it.
