Marc Arsenault
* Moon Maid. I had just started reading Dick Tracy in the paper maybe a week before that happened and it was really freaky
* Jack Murdock. I probably read the Fireside Marvel Origins books a hundred times each by the time I was 10. There's a pretty high body count in those. Coming from a working class boxing obsessed town I could relate to Daredevil more than other heroes, and loosing a dad is a biggie.
* Rorschach
* (When we finally find out that) Alec Holland (is DEAD in Saga of the Swamp Thing 21)
* That poor little girl in "A Frog is A Frog" by Steve Bissette and Stephen Perry in Bizarre Adventures
