Friday Night Fights: Madman versus Skinless Circus Freak
Frank Einstein had a brief flirtation with a career in the circus.

Never bring a knife to a bone breaking fight. Never go up against a Frenchman when getting your eyeball ripped out is on the line. Bahlactus knows that. This from Global Frequency Vol. II: Detonation Radio written by Warren Ellis, drawn by Tomm Coker.
