Correction, Issue 10 was technically on the site, though only as the cover. Issues 9 and 11 are the ones completely absent. I was able to verify that the Bimbettes do not appear in Issues 12 and 13 at all (instead giving exclusive focus on Belle's time at the castle).

Personally, I'm a bit confused about why Marvel needed to make the triplets jealous of Belle, enough to actually send her on the wrong way to get her away from the village so they can have Gaston in one instance. I mean, if they demonstrated this behavior in the film, that's one thing, but the problem is that they not only weren't shown to be jealous of Belle in the film, but certain behaviors they displayed (ie, their shock and anger that Belle refused Gaston) would actually point against them being jealous of her being the object of Gaston's affections (why would someone be upset that the person they were competing with actually refused the advances of the object of their desires? Someone who is jealous would be more like Scar or the Queen from Snow White, who would want to eliminate any likely competition). Not that it matters, at least they were shown to be somewhat clever and determined in that comic, even if in a negative way.
