Synopsis: - Humpty Dumpty tells Warren White the story of how he came to be a lifer at Arkham Asylum. After a childhood where things got broken with alarming regularity (his house, his dog, his parents), Humphry was taken in by his nasty grandmother, who taught him how to cobble shoes. When things began to go wrong in his adult life, he learned all about them, took them apart and put them back together, though he wasn't very good at it, causing trains to derail and the fun structures atop Gotham's roofs to rain down on innocent citizens. He began to refine his skills, but was eventually caught by Batgirl after he took his grandmother apart (attempting to find out what was wrong with her) and sewed her back up again with shoelaces. Meanwhile, Doodlebug exchanges a shiny mirror fragment for sexual favors from Magpie, and Jane Doe tells the security guard Wrigley that she's been studying him. When Wrigley returns Doodlebug to the cell he shares with Junkyard Dog, he neglects to close the door properly. Elsewhere, Harvey Bullock is joined by occultist Jason Blood to investigate a series of ritualistic murders.
