Nice cover to this one - it's got everybody on it except for God, and there's a nice one of Arseface. Anyway, speaking of the fella that's got a face like an arse, he seems to be heading for failure - the bills are mounting up, and his agent is more concerned with keeping Arseface happy by supplying him with ladies who have 'enawmous breasts'. Sally continues with her tale about Cassidy, 'the nicest piece of shit I ever did meet', saying about how in the 1930s he discovered drugs, and it was all downhill after that. Starr realises that there's still some evidence about his failure to deal with the Grail, a guy named Peck who is in hospital, and Eisenstein has discovered he exists so promptly goes to visit him. Eisenstein has anaesthetised Peck and tells him about the Russian commandos who would do anything to survive, including cannibalise, and all the time telling him not to look round. When Peck is finally allowed to look, there's Eisenstein's Russian bodyguard chewing away half of Peck's hand - I think we can be pretty sure he talked. Sally tells Jesse how Cassidy and his girlfriend eventually ran out of money for drugs, and went to see the drug dealer who refuses to let them have any, but offers to give a couple of caps in exchange for a blow job. The two go home and start going cold turkey, when they're desperate the girlfriend offers to go and see the dealer, but Cassidy won't let her. At this point its full marks for logic on the part of his girlfriend as she suggests he goes. I thought that was fucking hilarious, nice go for women's lib there, but then he turns round and breaks her jaw. Definitely heading for bid angst here, and Dillon has started drawing Cassidy with a kind of green tinge to make him look a bit more evil, but to be honest he looks more like David Bowie being seasick. Strange that.
