Walter Lantz Woody Woodpecker #63
In "The Phantom Trail," Woody Woodpecker takes on the role of engineer for the struggling Sootville and Misery Mountain Railroad, where a single daily run is his only job—and his only hope. When he’s tasked with hauling a flatcar of dynamite up the treacherous mountain, unseen sabotage threatens to derail everything. Written by Carl Fallberg and brought to life with energetic art by John Carey—pencils, inks, and lettering all by the same hand—this 1960 Dell comic delivers classic slapstick tension with a side of railroad peril.
