Bandette 9! New Urchin Story from Tobin & Farris!

That’s right, y’all! Digital episode number nine of Bandette is available in right now on Comixology for 99¢!
When Bandette faces the combined evil of the crime lord Absinthe and his agent of death, Il Tredici, who will stand by her side? And, with his nefarious organization FINIS on the brink of collapse, to what desperate lengths will Absinthe go in his bid for revenge? Plus, when the results of the contest between Bandette and Monsieur are tallied, who will be finally crowned The Greatest Thief In The World?

Halloween Heist!
A young Bandette reader’s mother has sent photographic evidence of a candy theft in her family home last Friday. Unfortunately, the thief was forced to make due with an American off-brand candy bar, as her favorite treat, Chocobolik, does not exist.
The thief escaped, of course.
