Panel 1
(Cassie Cruz speaking to Jeremy, who is standing in front of a board with pictures of various Evil Inc employees.)
Cassie Cruz: Jeremy, we have to find out who has been leaking information to the heroes before they pin it on me! The only nursing home capable of caring for my mother is contingent on my job here! — And even they have their hands full!
Panel 2
(A flashback scene shows Cassie narrating while Princess Charming, an elderly woman in a wheelchair, is interacting with another patient in the nursing home.)
Cassie Cruz (narrating): As a top-tier mind-controller with dementia, my mom keeps reliving the past — and pulling innocent people into her world!
Panel 3
(A flashback continues with an orderly, wearing a red shirt, standing near Princess Charming. Green energy surrounds them as the orderly appears to be in a trance.)
Cassie Cruz (narrating): Last week, an orderly forgot to turn on his neuro-dampener last week. Before anyone knew it, he was reenacting a battle between Mom and Hijinx.
Jeremy: Was Hijinx a hero she used to fight?
Panel 4
Cassie Cruz (narrating): Worse. It was a villain she had a rivalry with.
Princess Charming: I wish I could be like you. It must be so freeing not to stress over every little pound!
Panel 5
(Orderly is sitting on a couch, speaking with a therapist)
Cassie Cruz (narrating): The poor guy has been in counseling ever since!
Orderly: I mean… I thought I looked cute in bangs!

All this week, I’m going to spotlight some standout Halloween comics from Evil Inc. And I can’t think of a better way to start off than with Evil Inc’s Director of the Mystics and Occult Department, Dr. Vincent Leonard. Dr. Leonard is a pretty open homage to the great Vincent Price (Vincent Leonard Price), who was famous for several great horror movie turns (like
The Fly and all of those wonderful Roger Corman flicks) — and, of course, for providing the epic rap at the end of Michael Jackson’s
Thriller.
From his Personnel File: Dr. Vincent Leonard is the director of the Mystics & Occult Department, reporting directly to Dr. Whoosh. He is working on magically changing his last name, but he knows that this, like all magic, comes with a Price.
First appearance
Here’s the first storyline that Dr. Leonard appeared in
Messiah Complex
Dr. Leonard
also played a key role in the Messiah Complex storyline — in which, the Memo believes that it is the Second Coming.
That storyline starts here.
Ruby of Ragnoor
Dr. Leonard
was also pivotal in the Ruby of Ragnoor saga… That storyline started
way back here.
All week I will be highlighting a Halloween comic storyline from years past.
I’ll also take just a moment to tell you about my special Halloween comic that collects the best Halloween-themed stories from 13 —
