Hi my fellow rabbits,
I'm trying to get these 12 spreads finished until mid of April, as I want to send them in for a contest. I'm not really sure whether I will make it, but nonetheless it would be cool to get feedback in this early state, because maybe there are major flaws I didn't see.
This will become a very long post, as of course I first have to tell what the story is about. (It's written by a friend and yes, she will cut away more of the text, as atm it's taking too much space on some spreads - the areas which are taken by text are grey.)
The young bandit, son of the most famous bandits of the kingdom, has a bandit test today: And his parents want him to "steal" the princess for this.
Problem: Young bandit has no interest in becoming a great bandit, he likes acting. But how to tell the parents...
So he disguises himself as a count to sneak into the castle to kidnap the princess, like it is expected from him. Standing in front of her bed he decides that he can't do it and wants to leave, but the princess catches him (jumps into his back).
He tells her that he has to kidnap her and she is excited that he is the son of the GREAT Belinda. She admires his mother for only doing what she wants and experiencing so many adventures - as a princess the girl always has to obey her parents and to her living in a castle is quite boring.
The bandit tells her that he also doesn't like to do what his parents expect from him.
Then he has an idea and whisperes something to the princess. She agrees and calls her riding dragon (yes, talking about "boring"), to get them to the hut of the bandits.
There they appear disguised to trick the bandit parents: The young bandit is disguised as a princess and the princess is disguised as the count - so the parents think, the count is their son, just in disguise.
With this the young bandit wants to show his parents how GOOD he is in acting. Then he reveals the play and tells them that he wants to become an actor - and they are fine with it, as they already doubted in his abilities as a bandit.
The princess asks the mother bandit for an autograph, but instead the mother offers to go out on a robbery together - so the princess gets the adventure she desired for.
So these are the layouts I did so far. ANY feedback is highly welcomed. 
SPREAD 01 (at home, parents are celebrating the big day):
SPREAD 02 (young bandit tests different roles and what he could say to the princess):
SPREAD 03 ("Where is waldo"-like, shows him in different situations in the castle, to emphasize that he is playing the count SO good no one sees through the play):
SPREAD 04:
SPREAD 05 (princess wants to know who he is):
SPREAD 06 (princess shows a wanted-poster of the bandits mother):
