Life Quote by Barry Windsor-Smith
““You must understand that this "infernal thing" is what Logan has always been... A determinedly violent individual... plummeling his way through a purposeless life… one day distinguished from the next only by the changing patterns of bruises and blood from last night's drunken fights. But then, inexplicably, the wounds are healed and gone before noon and his first beer. I doubt if he even suffered hangovers. All his years Logan has endured this--suffering a destiny that tore at him from his guts outward... battling a fate decreed him by nature!””
