I liked the story for the rest, but the connection was unnecessary for the story to work. I have to disagree with you on the link to his past not being silly.

I just read it again last night. I was lucky and picked up this as a trade ultra cheap from Barnes and Noble when Batman Begins came out. I think it cost me all of $2. It’s funny you mentioned this.

A. He convinced himself he was imagining it and B. His parents were murdered right after, giving him a whole NEW psychosis. Well, I suppose Morrison’s defense is…

You'd think seeing your friends decapped head in the trash would affect you more though. I don't really buy it. no it was a good old british kids capital punishment type of thing.

And Greg, I don't recall even an implication of rape in the story. It seemed like pretty straightforward flogging. I just re-read it today, so while I could have missed it, I'm pretty sure it wasn't there. Yes, T, it’s available in a trade format.

It's been a while since I read this, so I don't think it's actually stated that he gets raped in this story, but it's certainly implied, yet no one has ever mentioned it again. Just a weird little scene in a weird comic. Freakin' ghost nuns!
