I finished reading the graphic novel "Hellblazer: The Haunted" last night. It's a horror story (obviously) written by Warren Ellis. Warren is one of my favorite authors. I have a lot to say when it comes to his work. I found this book to be especially frightening. Yet, it wasn't the story that scared me, it was just one simple page. Page 42. Page 42 is the one with the father taking a crack hit on one panel and on another his baby is crawling around the crack house alone, with no diaper, and a puddle that looks like urine underneath him. In the picture, it looks like the baby is dodging piles of crap or vomit. That's not the worst part. Dad knows the baby is gone and doesn't drop the crack and get up to look for him. Instead, he says to John the protagonist, "Oh, and if you see me kid, give us a shout. Yeah?" Forget the damn ghosts, nothing could be more terrifying than the fact that this shit really happens.
