The Story of BABS

In the initial four issues of Ahoy Comics’ BABS, readers are introduced to the warrior woman BABS and her unique ensemble of characters. This includes her sarcastic magical sword, Barry, who perpetually feels burdened. Her friend and fellow warrior Izzy. The noble of tongue if not deed, Culpepper. And the unfortunate individuals who have crossed her path and faced the consequences. Many of them “lost face” when challenging her, whether through wit or sword. But mainly by the sword.

A “Miner” Misfortune

For BABS, the consequences of not cooperating with her were particularly severe, especially in her quest to find her friend Izzy. Unfortunately, she fell into the trap set by the Ivory Knights of Unblemished Virtue. This misfortune was all thanks to the information provided to them by Mork the Orc and his band of disgruntled miscreants. On the positive side, it brought her back together with Izzy, provided you don’t mind hard mining work.
