Comic Book Villains Page #7

Yeah, I thought you--

I thought you might

wanna pull

a double cross.

Oh, I am.

So you're gonna kill

all 3 of us then?

No, you two

can walk.

You'd be implicated

if you talked,

and, uh...

Believe me,

you and jail time

would be

an uneasy union.

Would be

an uneasy union.

Now you can

turn around

and go back out

the way you came.

Not without Mrs. cresswell.

I'm not goin' anywhere

without those comics.

Because I--I--I would

rather be dead

than leave

without those comics.

Suit yourself.

I've got the gun.

So do I.

Hold it!

Drop your gun!

Uh, uh, you,

drop the gun!

Drop the gun,

you motherfucking a**hole!

Rawr!

Finally...

Someone here

who speaks my lingo.

Get away from

the comic books!

Now you! Drop your gun!

Drop your f***ing gun!

No! No! No!

Those are mine!

Those are mine,

goddamn it!

They're not yours!

And him, him I might

have listened to.

But not you, you b*tch!

Oh, what are you smiling at?

Oh, what are you smiling at?

Nothing. It's just

that I thought

I was dealing

with fools.

Well, now you see

differently, my friend.

No, I don't.

P-p-put the gun down.

Come on, ray.

What are you doin'?

We're not gunmen.

We're comic book

collectors.

Archie's right.

This is

my

home.

And I want you

out of here.

Mrs. cresswell.

Put the--

put the gun--oh!

Put the--

put the gun--oh!

Baby!

Baby, are you ok?

You shot me!

Are you ok?

Here, Mrs. cresswell.

Oh, god. Are you ok?

Raymond, call

an ambulance.

I have to go after Carter.

He's got most of the books.

You coming?

She is bleeding

to death! Call 911!

She's dying, Archie, all right?

There's nothin' you can--

she--she's done.

You motherf***er.

I'm goin'. Now,

are you comin' with me?

I'm goin'. Now,

are you comin' with me?

Are you with me?!

Aw, shoot.

Baby, can you walk?

Yeah.

Aah!

You're such a big boy.

Let's go, baby.

Call 911.

I can't leave her.

I'm trying to stop

the bleeding.

You can walk,

you think?

I am begging you!

It is not too late!

It is for her.

That b*tch should have sold

while she could.

You ok?

Do you know

how to get to

the hospital from here?

Yeah, honey, but we're

not goin' there,

not yet. You're ok.

No, I'm hurt!

I know, but you're

on your feet.

You'll live,

and if we

get these comics,

you'll live well.

You and me.

What?

Mrs. cresswell,

I need you to hold

your own stomach.

Mrs. cresswell,

I need you to hold

your own stomach.

I've got to get

to the phone.

No. No. No.

don't leave me.

I'm...

Done.

Why didn't you

just sell?

To one or the other.

It would have

been so simple.

Oh, god.

My son wasted...

Himself collecting.

He never truly

lived his life.

He never truly

lived his life.

But they were his things.

And, uh...

I miss him so much.

Listen to me.

I want you to take the...

The funny books...

That that...

Motherf***er left behind.

I want you to go to my...

I want you to go to my...

My son's room.

And in the closet.

He didn't just

collect funny books.

Mrs. cresswell,

if only I would have

just told ray--

hush!

I am... I was...

I am... I was...

Getting bored anyway.

Hey, kiki.

Hey, be quiet.

It's a little

late for that.

Besides, who's around

at this hour?

Normal,

careful of glass.

Ow!

Oh, sh*t.

Are you ok?

Now I'm bleeding

in 2 places!

All right, honey. Well,

look for a rolodex,

anything that might

have Carter's address,

a phone number, even.

What a palace.

Ow.

Come on, honey.

Found it.

This oughta do.

Yeah, this'll do.

It was hard, 'cause

there was all the--

the power tools

and saws and...

I mean,

are you f***ing

the hardware guy?

Is it Carter's?

Yeah?

Yeah, I pretty much

figured he was

a handy kinda guy.

Where is he?

I don't know.

You have such

a beautiful body.

I saw you

at the club

dancing that day.

You were

so graceful.

But not when you

spread your legs.

That was--

that was obscene.

That was

unnecessary.

don't like

guys like me, do you?

What's it take?

Does it take money?

I've got money.

I've got some money.

You know what

I could do to you

with this hammer?

You wouldn't

dance anymore.

Where's Carter?

I don't know.

You're lying.

See, I wish

I could have

a girl like you--

beautiful and loyal.

I'd treat you good.

Oh, god.

I wouldn't let you

dance naked for men.

He's not worth it.

If I was your man,

I wouldn't let you

be here all alone.

Where is he?

I don't know.

I don't know.

don't lie to me!

don't f***ing

lie to me!

don't f***ing

lie to me!

I hate

girls like you!

Where is he?!

I don't know!

Anything yet?

No.

No.

All right,

keep looking.

See, I'm startin'

to feel dizzy.

Listen, we'll go

to the hospital soon,

lover, ok?

I feel tingly.

Soon. Just search

the counter.

It's the first place

I looked.

Keep looking!

Maybe I'll...

Look underneath.

Maybe something fell underneath.

Ow! Ow! Ow!

What is it?!

The counter! I think

it broke my foot!

Oh, aah! Honey!

Come on, honey. Just try

and wiggle it free.

No! No--aah!

No wiggling!

Please,

just wiggle.

I'm pinned.

Hey! Hey! Hey!

Put that fire out.

That could spread.

I think I saw

a fire extinguisher.

Hurry up, honey!

It's starting to spread!

Ow!

I'm coming, honey!

Damn it! I'm stuck!

Aah!

Damn lazy bastard

didn't keep

the pressure up.

Hey, I'm really

stuck, Judy.

Sh*t. Honey,

the line is dead.

All right, I'm gonna try

freeing you again, baby.

Come on.

It's really starting

to get hot, Judy. Hurry up.

Ok. I have to find

a pay phone, ok? Ok.

No. No. No.

don't leave me here!

If you leave me, I'll burn.

It's really

getting hot, Judy!

I don't wanna burn!

I don't wanna burn, Judy!

Oh, please.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Am I interrupting you?

Reading by the fire?

You f***ing weirdo!

Back in high school,

you were so mean.

Weren't you, lone wolf?

You used to scare

the jocks shitless.

But you always

liked comic books.

See, that part,

that part

I should've remembered.

Used to have

quite a collection.

Yeah. You used

to take most of mine.

So, how'd you find me?

Oh, your

girlfriend kiki.

I went down by the club,

and she gave me

a little dance.

We got to talking,

and I asked,

and she told me.

What are you reading?

Avengers

#4.

First modern appearance

of captain America.

I know.

That's $1, 000 book

you got there.

You better be careful.

The moisture

from your fingertips

is devaluing it

as we speak.

Where's the rest

of the books?

Still in the truck.

Catch my breath.

You know, as I was

drivin' over here,

I began remembering

reading comic books

back when, and, uh...

All the facts

and figures...

About superpowers,

secret identities

we took the time

to memorize.

That some of us

still do.

Sometimes I think

if I woulda spent

just an eighth

of the time studying,

say, physics equations,

rather than comic book trivia,

I'd probably have won

the nobel prize. Huh?

Hmm.

So, uh...

Kiki just

gave me up, huh?

She didn't even lie.
