Devil Girl Candy Tins

I'm going to assume everyone out there likes candy, tins or Devil Girls, or some combination of the three. R. Crumb is a big fan of all three together and, through an agreement with BOOM! Town, will be releasing candies in tins featuring Devil Girls depicted on them. See. I told you he liked all three at the same time.

The candy itself is cinnamon flavored hearts and comes in tins priced at just $3.99 each. If you’re a serious Crumb collector (not of the Hansel and Gretel kind), you can get an entire P.O.P. (point-of-purchase display box) designed by Crumb. This display includes a dozen tins in a super-cool die-cut box adorned with long-tongued and long legged Devil Girl imagery that will make visiting collectors drool with envy.

“These Crumb tins were Kitchen Sink Press’s best seller during its final year of existence, which is why Robert and I brought them back again with minor changes,” notes publisher Denis Kitchen. “Whether or not you even like the hot candy, the tin is a throwback to the sturdy and beautifully designed product containers from eons ago. You can of course put it in your display case, but some use an extra Devil Girl tin as a special ‘stash’ box. And younger male friends tell me in all sincerity that offering Devil Girl hearts never fails to impress women.”

The tins ship in July and the full press release ships after the jump.
