PUZZLE #417
MINI-MARCHING BANDS 6
The answers in this grid march both across the Rows and around the Bands. Each row contains two answers, clued in order. Their dividing point is for you to determine, except in Row 5, where the two answers are separated by a black square. The answers in each Band will be entered clockwise, starting at a lettered square (A-D) and ending in the space below that square. The dividing points in each band's string of words are also for you to determine. Each square will be used twice; once in a Row's word, and once in a Band's word.
Once you've filled everything in, read the letters on the diagonal dashed line for the FINAL ANSWER: The name of a comic book character
