10 BEAUTIFUL ASSASSINS GN
(W) Thomas R. Hart (A) Elmer Damaso
Bernard Black is one of the best cat burglars in the world. Bernie may be the best there is at what he does, but he's also a virgin, and whenever he gets near a beautiful woman, he turns into a bumbling fool. Bernie stole a priceless necklace from billionaire John Maiden, only to have it swiped right from under him by the cunning Lily Frost. In turn, John Maiden hires an elite female service to retrieve the necklace at all costs and bring back Bernie's head on a silver platter. If things go his way, Bernie might just get lucky — unless somebody kills him first!
