Another doctor. Again they argue with him in whispers. But that doesn't matter. I can even hear what they don't say. Every night, they talk about what to do with me. They wish I'd never been born. They hate me.

Story of Harada
The "Story of Harada" was originally serialized in black and white on the reverse side of the six mail away coupons bound into Harbinger issues #1-6.
The coupons redeemed the highly sought after Pink Sky Variant of Harbinger #0 and many of the original copies of Harbinger #1-6 no longer include this chilling and powerful tale. This rarely seen story is presented here in full color for the first time.

Quotes[]
- Another doctor. Again they argue with him in whispers. But that doesn't matter. I can even hear what they don't say. Every night, they talk about what to do with me. They wish I'd never been born. They hate me. They used to only think about killing me. They know I know. So, now they talk about it every night. Just because I'm different. Too bad for them. Who needs them, anyway?
- -- Toyo Harada
- I don't like this world. I intend to change it. I will find others who are different. I will help them...and they will help me. I'll have to be very careful with this one. He could ruin everything.
