In "Chapter 1 Farewell, My Looney," a delusional Francis Clunie—still convinced he’s a Humphrey Bogart character—flees Spinbinnie Secure and lands in Glasgow, where he spots Taiwan Lil, setting off a tense, unpredictable chain of events. Written by John Wagner and Alan Grant, with art and inks by Robin Smith and lettering by Ellie DeVille, this 1998 DC issue blends psychological tension with noir flair. The cover, also by Robin Smith, captures the eerie, off-kilter mood of the story.
In "Chinatoon [Chapter One]," delusional ex-patient Francis Clunie—still convinced he’s a hard-boiled detective straight out of a 1940s film—flees Spinbinnie Secure and lands in Glasgow, where he spots Koo Chin, the enigmatic Taiwan Lil, in a bustling Chinese restaurant. As he follows her through the city’s neon-lit streets, his grip on reality frays further, blurring the line between his fantasy and the strange, shifting world around him.
