Walter Lantz Woody Woodpecker #63
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "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.
In "The Phantom Trail," Woody Woodpecker takes Knothead and Splinter on a camping trip with the goal of teaching them to be more self-reliant—though their attempts at survival are constantly derailed by a publicity stunt, a sneaky crow, a mischievous bear, and the eerie legend of a woodland phantom. With his usual mix of wit and chaos, Woody must navigate the wilds and his friends’ antics before they’re truly lost in the woods.
Woody Woodpecker’s already tough job as the sole engineer for the struggling Sootville and Misery Mountain Railroad gets even more chaotic when he’s tasked with hauling a flatcar full of dynamite up the mountain—only to face sabotage at every turn. With Mr. Clinker, Mr. Pinchface, and even a cow and an old lady adding to the mayhem, the rails are never this wild.
