Walter Lantz Woody Woodpecker #127
In "The Phantom Trail," Woody Woodpecker takes Knothead and Splinter on a camping trip with a twist: he’s determined to teach them independence, not just how to survive in the woods. But when a publicity-hungry actor, a clever crow, a mischievous trained bear, and a strange phantom start stirring up trouble, Woody’s lesson in self-reliance gets a whole lot more complicated. Written by Don R. Christensen and illustrated by John Carey—with inks by Steve Steere and colors by the Western Publishing Production Shop—this 1973 classic features cover art by John Carey.

Woody tries to teach Knothead and Splinter to be more resourceful, and less dependent on him, while camping in the woods. A typecast actor’s publicity stunt, a thieving crow, a trained bear, and a mysterious woodland phantom all conspire against his efforts.
