...or is The Phantom getting creepy?
And not creepy in a good, thrilling or exciting way, either, but creepy in a date-rape, Michael Jackson kind of way.
Currently, for instance, he is in the home of Mina, the young lady whose presence sparked his most recent storyline. Having safely doped her with Bengalla medicine so that she no longer remembers their adventure (which, in context, seems a lot more questionable than when Tommy Lee Jones did it to Linda Fiorentino in Men in Black), he's stalking around her house late at night, and today he's in her bedroom, watching her sleep.
