In "Thump Fun!", Gloria flees her husband Ralph in a desperate bid for freedom, racing toward the train station with fear in her heart and a mountain of suspicion weighing on her mind. As the train carries her away, her imagination spirals—each shadow, each sound, a reminder of the $25,000 policies and the poison bottle he brought home. Written and illustrated by Albert B. Feldstein, with inks by Feldstein and colors by Marie Severin, this chilling tale unfolds in the tense silence of a moving train, where reality and paranoia blur. The cover, a masterwork by Graham Ingels, captures the dread with haunting precision.
