From The Last Page of Issue #08 of the Glass Octopus in White Haven Special Edition run:


Dr. Ivory /with mask on/:Ha Ha! I have you now Mr. Octopus. It's time to see who's really underneath that mask of yours!
Glass Octopus: My Sidekick will come for me. You cannot hope to get away with the secret water siphoning scheme Dr. Ivory!
Dr. Ivory: Oh yes I can. I had my henchmen take care of Badger Boy. he won't be coming to save you now. Now let's see who wears the mask of the Glass Octopus.

*Yank!* /Glass Octopus drawn from the back/
Dr. Ivory: What?! Who are you?
Glass Octopus: You know who I am. I am the Glass Octopus.
Dr. Ivory: That's...you're just some guy. I assumed you would be a union nuisance or that protest leader, or someone's son going through a phase. But you're just...some guy.
Glass Octopus: Without the mask, I am just a man. And that is why you will always fail. You underestimate the power and determination of ordinary people. We can, and do, pull off extraordinary feats of heroism. But you, in your ivory tower, do not understand that.
Dr. Ivory: You can't possibly know who I am!
Glass Octopus: Not specifically. But I know where you come from. You come from one of the elite circles of this city. The ones who horde water to make the technocrats bow to your whims. And now, you know where I come from.
Badger Boy /Appearing from off-page left/: I did it! I got passed the Henchmen and I pulled their emergency off switch and now the reservoir will get refilled! Look, you can see the water level rising!
Dr. Ivory: Curses. Now the Mayor won't be able to leverage the technocrats with the threat of the water running dry. You have foiled my plans. Curse the day you came to White Haven Glass Octopus!
/Speech bubble with speaker off page/: That's the little brat. Get him.
*Bang*
/Badger Boys' Body Falls. Next Panel is Glass Octopus seen from the top, leaning over Badger Boy's body so as not to show his face./

Henchman B: Boss, the city coppers are on their way, and they've gotta make an arrest or the riots will keep going. We gotta move.
Dr. Ivory: You haven't seen the last of me, Glass Octopus! I'll be back!
