The Fellowship was fortunate enough to obtain a copy of BANDETTE
#1 from Monkeybrain Comics. The story is by Paul Tobin with art by Colleen
Coover.
We are introduced to Bandette, a brightly colored costume
young woman who we see breaking into a mansion. She’s there to steal some small
Rembrandt drawings while the owner (who has a shady past) was away. The problem
is…he is home. A small motorcycle chase ensues and Bandette must call in
backup in order to get away. Meanwhile,
Mr. Corvid, who owns a rare book and coin store gets a mysterious call
regarding the 1794 American Flowing Hair Dollar Coin. At the same time
Inspector Belgique is dealing with a bank robbery that has gone wrong and must
call for assistance...you won’t believe who…
This was certainly a fun book to read. This comic has the
potential of being a very entertaining series. I like it’s style and sense of
humor (Bandette being involved in a motorcycle chase while she’s driving a
scooter had me chuckling). Tobin has written a fun, smart script and Coover’s
art enhances the fun. It’s definitely a book worth checking out.
