Scratch's surprise encounter with a past aspect takes a grim turn as he faces losing one of his nine lives again. Then he's thrust into a overly-dramatic 19th century struggle between the mysterious cat hero "The Mauve Bravadeer" and the so-called "Phantom of the East London Theater." And will Penelope makes a new BFF in the evil cat Strick? (not likely). All this and cover art by "Bodie Troll" creator Jay Fosgitt!
