uess this all just feels like a shame to me. Horror comics have the power still, as they are still more or less un-
uched by the powers that be. Alot of the fun of digital distribution, across the board and among all art forms, is the
ck of control placed into a investors pocket. A Visitors Guide to Dempsey #1 cost 4 dollars to make. I used my
use, and had my friends play the parts. I used a free version of Photoshop CS2 (yeah, I know. Its old.) and Inde-
gn CS2, and found that it worked just as good as dropping some insepid amount on production. The 4 dollars was
r Karo syrup and food coloring for the blood. And because of digital distribution, I can now release it for free.
joy the horror. Enjoy the chaos. But never let go of the enjoyment. Cherish it. We find ourselves constantly fight
g for more action, more effects, more monsters. Thats when we loose touch with what horror should be doing.

Her name, as I recall it, was Rory Grace. I cant verify Grace, but I can tell you
about that night. August 6th, 1987. Dempsey hadnt evolved beyond indentured
servants, even in the 80s, but they came in all colors. Black, white, hispanic. We
were all apart of the great void of servitude.
Rory was different. She had been deceived in the paperwork she filed with the New
Albany Caretakers Bureau, which is fine. They had been deceived as well. Shewas supposed to be a live in nanny with the Cornwalls. She became a chamber-
maid, wet nurse, and all around servant. But being from a well respected family
leaves a girl with certain preconceived notions of her own self worth.
Mrs. Cornwall was an investment banker from Goldring County out in Iowa. She
spent a good amount of her time tending her garden, and protecting Lawrence and
the other hospital heads from any outside forces. Mr. Cornwall was the first of the
heathens to call himself, Issac. Thats how Gehenna put it.
See, Mr. Cornwall had been a young apprentice to Ralph Chigger, the head of the
Morningstars, the undergrounders if you will. Chigger had explained once that he
worried about Aleister Gehenna (at the time, Chiggers business partner) and his
disposition when it came to the good book. The problem was, Mr. Cornwall didnt
believe in the terrestial boogeyman either. He had a different plan.
See, Cornwall met with Pastor Falcheon, Lawrence, and a woman by the name ofEleanor Dreeveport to discuss a little, amendment, to the good book. This of course
was years after Ralph had taken his followers under the city. We only heard from
them when one of the Harpers sent us word of their needing of supplies.
So, as you would imagine, they get together to perform a King James rewrite. I
was the servant to the Dreeveports, and I overheard the whole dilemma. Turns out,
they decided to create a method to ensure no one would be upset about the treat-
ment of the interlopers. You know, outsiders. They conceived this passage, andadded it in to that weeks sermon.

Mrs. Cornwall often had to head to Columbus to speak to the Senate at the state
house. Mr. Cornwall used this as his oppurtunity to experiment between Rorys
legs, if you know what I mean. She screamed awfully loud. I know because we
could faintly hear her at the farmers market down on the corner of Pruos and Drift-
wood. Id see her the next day, and she would barely be able to talk. Her belly
never grew though, which must have made Mr. Cornwall very upset.
One day, Rory pulled me aside.
Evaline, I need your help. She sounded so panicked and frightened, it rubbed off
onto me.
I need you to get me a copy of that Dreeveport ladies notes from the rewrite ses-
sion. I have a feeling they wont match with Mister Hands and Thrustin.
I obliged, sneaking the notes from her desk while she was down at the Partition
Mount, a small hill where soapboxes were replaced with dirt. I took them over to
Rory, and without so much as a thank you or go now, I left as quickly as Id came.
Rory mustve been right, because Mr. Cornwalls notes detailed a horrifying reality
even the other Re-Writers didnt know of.
Rape is a harsh word for it, I think. It isnt rape to feed a mouse the drugged
cheese. Besides, it doesnt matter. She is, more or less, infertile. Or perhaps I am.
Regardless, Ill place her behind the under the Partition Mount after my speech de-
nouncing Gehenna. It should be a wonderful show.
She hid behind the shed when he returned from his speech. A small glow in the
distance signified the mob that was coming for Mr. Cornwall. I found out later on
he had stolen a vile of Rion Fluid from the hospital earlier that day, and had poi-
sioned Mrs. Dreeveports Absinthe. Rory saw her chance for real revenge. Dont

kill.. Hes already dead.
Quickly, Rory ran inside, using the maids entrance through the kitchen. She fough
her way past the furniture, and reached the front door. She slammed th
dead bolt shut just as Mr. Cornwall reached the door. He screamed somthing fierce. I remember hearing him down on the square.
It was too late. Nathan Wyatt grabbed his shoulder, and pulled him backwards. He
smashed his head against the concrete. They wrapped him in a bed sheet, tied with
sailors knot. His screams continued as he got pulled away into the night. From w
I understand, Caroline Plath bashed him in the face with a rock to shut him up.
They drug him down to the hospital, chanting, WE HAVE THE ISSAC, STRINGHIM TO THE WALLS!!!
Poor Rory. She decided to stay in town, buying up the lake house down on Kiero
Lake. She doesnt leave much these days. I haven;tseen her in, shit, about 2
years. Last I heard, she got a case of Subliminol, and drank the whole box. Someo
said they saw her dive into the lake, and aint ever come back up.
Is that all you wanted to know? Ok, well Im gonna head back to the house then.
Someone gotta raise Dreeveports babies. Im sorry, whatd you say your name wa
again. Alex Kane? You aint from around her is you?
Mind your step Mr. Kane. This heres a town where they want to know your busi
ness. And you had better hope it meshes with theirs. Cause if it dont...you could
the next Issac.

Eliza Tyranny Bell was born April 14th, 1975 in Lansing, Michigan to Syl-
via and Roger Bell. Elizas father disappeared when she was about 4, and
her mother has never given her a rational reason for his disappearance. They
moved to Dempsey when Eliza was 5, under the facade that they would open
a store selling bibles on the road side. However, when they arrived, Sylvia
began to see men around town. She first dated Nicholas Traboni, a New York
born steel smith. However, the tension between the two was heavily exacer-
bated, and he eventually left. It was around this time that Eliza began attend-
ng the local elementary, Dempsey School for the Gifted. Despite the name,
he school was the only elementary and middle school in town, with all the
high schoolers going to Alfred Lawrences medical trade school.
Sylvia then began seeing Kenneth Loeb, a man which none of the locals knew
oo much about. He had arrived 3 months earlier from Seatle, and paid for ayear long stay at the Revel Inn outside of the main town. He came into churc
every Sunday, and listened to Pastor Falcheon speak to the pulpit. One day,
Sylvia went to pick him up, as he had no car. His hotel room was empty, and
skinned face laid on the floor. The face was later determined to be Elliot Re-
ese, but the remainder of his body was never found.
Sylvia was too busy to be bothered to notice what her daughter was doing.Eliza had made two friends, Harper West and Harper Moore. They were brot
ers, but their mother, Dahlia Delaney, had had them each with different men.
They were given the same first name so people would know they were broth-
ers. Harper Moore was the taciturn of the two, while West spoke rather well.
They both had a obsession with Eliza. Eliza and the two boys would go into
he woods after Theology, and find themselves. At the age of 7, Eliza asked
Moore to put a stick inside her. He refused, saying it was gross. West agreedand took Elizas virginity. For her, it was a moment of great depth and under-
standing. She, like her mother, could use it to manipulate men. She convince
West to beat Moore with a rock till at least one of his eyes turned red. The tw
walked away, laughing.

But on the cusp of her 13th birthday, she was bored. She had to discover a mo
nticing way to trap men. Her mother had begun sleeping with Lawrence, and
Eliza knew she had to have him. She seduced him, and waited for her mother
ome home before she ran downstairs, screaming rape. Her mother, believing
er short skirts and dresses were too much for Lawrence to deny, beat her se-
erely with a fire poker. Lawrence left, but Eliza was obsessed.
ylvia had begun to use a special medicine that Lawrence had created, Sublim
ol. It caused the skin cells in the body to replicate themselves, and then kill
he original cell. This allowed her to look 18, despite being 39. Eliza got into
he medicine, and consumed it as though it were food. The effect allowed her
ontrol her skin cell growth, keeping her body preserved at a constant state of
6 year old girl. But Eliza wanted to make Lawrence happy.
he convinced him to impregnate her, and he could use the unborn fetus for hi
xperiments on skin cells. She also began working with the staff psychiatrist,
Dr. Liam Mendal, on subliminal suicide. The process involved causing a pers
o contemplate, plan, and execute theyre own suicide. She decided the only
way to consume and own Lawrence, was to use the technique on her mother.
Her mother met Howard Wallace on March 14, 1994, shortly before Elizas 19
irthday. They fell in love, and Howard gave Sylvia anything she wanted. Th
married only 5 months later, and Eliza began to obsess not only with Lawrenc
ut with her mothers demise. Her mother embraced Maltheism, as Howard h
lready. The way she figured, hed listen if she pretended to.
The rest is history. The unbinding of their love led to the isolation of SylviaWallace. As it would turn out, Subliminol is addictive in nature. Eliza stole th
ntire batch, and consumed it all. Elizas skin began to morph, like a control-
able, non lethal cancer. Sylvias skin began to wrinkle, and due to the shock
uddenly losing the drug, she went blind. But she waited for Howard, and stil
oes to this day.
