SON OF A B*TCH!

IT'S ALL RIGHT, BABY.

IT'S OKAY, GENNY.

ALL RIGHT.

ALMOST OVER.

I HAVEN'T BEEN AFRAID OF | ANYTHING IN MY WHOLE LIFE.

DO YOU KNOW WHY?

BECAUSE I WISH I WAS DEAD.

"WHY DO YOU WISH THAT?"

THERE'S NOTHING LEFT | TO FEAR.

I HAVE ONLY HATRED | TO LIVE FOR.

IT'S MY ONLY PLEASURE.

I WISH YOU WERE DEAD TOO.

IT'S OVER. IT'S OKAY.

THERE YOU GO.

COME ON. SHH. IT'S | OKAY. DON'T CRY, BABY.

COME ON. LET'S GET YOU OUT OF | HERE SO I CAN HELP THESE PEOPLE.

TIME, WEATHER AND-

IN THE HALCYON TOWN | OF HELVERTON, COLORADO,

A VERITABLE HOUSE OF HORRORS | WAS DISCOVERED TODAY...

BY A DETECTIVE SEARCHING | FOR HIS MISSING DAUGHTER.

UNFORTUNATELY, HE FOUND MUCH | MORE THAN HE WAS LOOKING FOR.

CAPTAIN HOWDY | WENT WITH THIS INSANITY PLEA.

LOOK AT THE GUY. HE'S A NUT. | LOOKS HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH IT.

THE ONLY QUESTION IS, | CAN THIS MAN UNDERSTAND-

WELL, THE BIG STORY IS...

CARLETON HENDRICKS WAS FOUND | NOT GUILTY BY REASON OF INSANITY.

CAPTAIN HOWDY. THAT'S GREAT.

THE COPS | SHOULD'VE KILLED HIM.

DESPITE INTENSE | LOCAL PROTESTS,

CARLETON HENDRICKS, THE NOTORIOUS | CAPTAIN HOWDY, IS BEING RELEASED.

DOCTORS REPORT HE HAS MADE A | COMPLETE AND TOTAL TRANSFORMATION.

CARLETON HENDRICKS | IS A CHANGED MAN.

## YES, I MUST | PEEL AWAY THE SKIN ##

## AND CUT AWAY THE FLESH ##

## TO DISCARD, EXPOSE | AND ABSOLVE ##

## THE PAIN | SUCH A COLD HEART LONGS ##

## TO EXPRESS WITH GROANS ####

LINE THREE, PLEASE.

BEYOND.

BEYOND!

THEY MUST HAVE | MISUNDERSTOOD.

THEY COULDN'T HAVE SAID THAT. | THAT'S INSANE.

THEY'RE REALLY | LETTING HIM OUT?

HENDRICKS? THEY'VE GOT TO. | CARLETON'S A CHANGED MAN.

HE'S PASSED | EVERY TREATMENT PLAN REVIEW...

AND GOT GREAT REVIEWS | FROM THE DISPOSITION COMMITTEE.

COURTS COULDN'T FIND A REASON TO | HOLD HIM. THE MAN'S GOOD TO GO.

NOT BY ME. WHAT HE DID TO | THOSE KIDS WAS UNCONSCIONABLE.

WHAT CAPTAIN HOWDY DID, OKAY?

CARLETON HENDRICKS, | HE'S AS GOOD AS GONE.

ARE YOU READY TO ROCK | AND ROLL? HEY, SAM.

THE BIG DAY'S HERE, AND YOU | GOT YOUR FACE BURIED IN A BOOK.

"I HAVE WITHDRAWN | MYSELF...

"FROM THE CONFUSIONS | OF CITIES AND MULTITUDES...

"AND SPEND MY DAYS | SURROUNDED BY WISE BOOKS,

"BRIGHT WINDOWS | IN THIS LIFE OF OURS...

LIT BY THE SHINING SOULS | OF MEN."

UH-HUH. IS THAT | A HENDRICKS ORIGINAL?

I WISH.

IT'S H.G. WELLS.

SO, WHAT DOES OL' H.G. GOT TO | SAY ABOUT YOU GOIN' HOME TODAY?

UNFORTUNATELY, | NOTHING.

I'M A BIT NERVOUS.

THEY WOULDN'T BE LETTIN' YOU GO IF | THEY DIDN'T THINK YOU WERE READY.

JUST KEEP UP | WITH YOUR MEDICATION.

YOU'LL BE FINE. | HMM?

LET'S GO.

CARLETON, I THINK | I'D BETTER WARN YOU.

THERE'S A WELCOMING COMMITTEE | WAITING FOR YOU ON THE OUTSIDE.

THEY AIN'T TOO HAPPY.

I CAN IMAGINE.

NO.

I DON'T THINK YOU CAN.

MOM? DAD?

I'M HOME!

THE ACT OF SLOW PIERCING...

IS A TRANSCENDENT | SPIRITUAL EVENT. NO! NO!

THERE IS NO PAIN. | JUST SENSATION.

YOU OBSERVE THE BODY | EXPERIENCING THE SENSATION!

SURRENDER | TO THE EXPERIENCE!

FEEL THE ENDORPHIN RUSH...

AS THE SURGICAL STEEL | SLICES THROUGH!

DADDY!

HEY, GENNY, GENNY, GENNY. | HONEY.

SHH. | IT'S OKAY, BABY.

HE WAS HERE. IT'S OKAY. | IT WAS JUST A DREAM.

DADDY'S HERE.

NOBODY'S GONNA HURT YOU, | HONEY.

SHH. | OHH, BABY.

DON'T CRY, DON'T CRY. | DON'T CRY.

DON'T CRY, HONEY. | IT'S OKAY.

OKAY. ALL RIGHT.

OKAY.
