Swamp Thing, Vol. 2

"A Town Has Turned to Blood!" Written by Martin Pasko. Art by Tom Yeates. As Holland and his young friend Casey travel cross-country via a boxcar on a train, they are suddenly set upon by a group of blood-suckers. During the scuffle, the Swamp Thing and Casey are separated, as he tumbles out of the moving boxcar and she continues down the tracks, but not before it is revealed that this strange mute little girl does possess psychic powers. Holland finds himself stranded in a small town that has been overrun by vampires. He meets a small group of desperate survivors whose numbers are dwindling by the night. But the true horror of the tale comes to light when Holland, and the reader, realize the lengths one man will go to stop the threat of a vampire plague sweeping across the country. Includes the back-up tale Starring The Phantom Stranger. 32 pages, FC. NOTE: This is easily one of my favorite vampire stories in comics. It's a straight up horror story in the same vein as Salem's Lot. - Odinson, Lone Star Comics Archivist Cover price $0.60.
