Description
True...no Swamp Thing (actually his hand in panel 4)...but who do you think is throwing the guys out of the train?

Actually, I purchased this as it precedes my other page so makes a nice sequence. The missing page in the middle is a full page splash...who has that one?

Yes, but you don't need Swamp Thing on this page! I love the way Wrightson establishes the long shot in the first panel and how the thieves go from frightful in the second and third panels to the classic frightened victims in the fourth. And then there is that money shot with the half-splash. I can only dream of having a Swamp Thing page like this. And besides, you've got the NEXT PAGE!

That's Bernie's old phone number from when he lived in Saugerties on the side of the train. Just missing the last digit.

That is wild - thanks for the interesting tidbit - I've never seen that before!

Awesome page Mark!  Nobody set a mood quite like Wrightson and his hand drawn SWAMP THING moniker in panel 1 is incredibly cool!

The middle tier is classic Bernie macabre!

Congratulations on a terrific Wrightson page from this classic series.  The "Swamp Thing" lettering in the first panel sets the stage for the incredible middle tier of panels.  The fantastic final panel is made even cooler with the phone number reference!  Pure Wrightson magic!
