“Cupid is a Monster”

In "Cupid is a Monster," student nurse Beckie Warren wakes from a car accident with a mysterious paralysis—her legs unresponsive, her future uncertain. As her lawyer prepares to sue the driver, Carlos Obregon, Beckie begins sleepwalking through the hospital halls, and only Carlos and her friend Cynthia witness her strange, silent wanderings. The truth behind her condition may lie not in the crash, but in something far more unsettling. Art by Charles Nicholas and Vince Alascia, with a cover by Sal Gentile.

Beckie Warren, a student nurse and friend of Cynthia, is hit by a car as she leaves the hospital. She seems to be paralyzed and her lawyers intend to sue the driver, Carlos Obregon. But Carlos and Cynthia observe Beckie sleepwalking in the halls late at night. When Beckie stumbles while sleepwalking, Carlos is there to catch her. A mental block had prevented Beckie from feeling anything in her legs.
