NOBODY HACK THAT ADDRESS OKAY THANKS
I think this is as much of Fulci’s elaborate backstory as we’re likely to get. I went into it in some detail a while back — he’s actually one of the most interesting characters in the series to me, behind the scenes: a completely amoral man, but thoroughly dedicated to !SCIENCE! in that great Doctor Frankenstein sort of way.
Happy December, by the way! If you have a loved one or friend that you’d like to buy a Christmas gift for, I would like to direct your attention to the links on the right, where you can purchase the trade paperback of this fine comic from its publisher, SLG, or from any variety of Amazon you choose. If you pick up the postage to send it up here, I’d be happy to autograph it. Roy too, probably.

In March of 1999, we captured and detained a scientist named Fulci in Kosovo. He was working on gene-targeted viruses.

In June of 2005, he died. Heart attack. I have the medical report.
