A Letter To The Editor
To whom it may concern: I must strenuously protest the lack of a new issue of your tabloid. It has been over a week now, and I find the veritable interregnum of an interruption disconcerting. It's not that I actually read your newspaper, which would be a complete and utter waste of my time; however, at issue is the need for regularity in the Downs. Imagine, if you will, a battalion of backed-up Barrow Wights bursting with bulging bowels, a confluence of constipated cadavers contcatentating in a lumbering, lengthy line in the locale of the lone loo in the empty environs of Eriador! The methane leak alone may well suffocate the entire Downs! So, do your part to end this insufferable irregularity by publishing your platitudinous periodical, and I shall do my part and continue to ignore its existence; except, of course, in instances such as this when The Downer's absence causes obstructive enormities. Thank you in advance for the speedy discharge of your duty, Ms. Emma Na Manumit Disemboguing, Thorpechestershireborroughton

Dear Ms. Emma Na Manumit,
You are creepy and I don't like your tie. All the same, put on your best news pants because it's Downer time! Golly Gosh! Peter and Philip are still locked in battle. Don't forget that if you've lost track of The Phantom and Alien in these confusing and silly stories I'm weaving around, you can look back though the... PHANTOM AND ALIEN COMIC ARCHIVE THING What on earth will happen now? That King Bus sure gets around and looks stupid at the same time! How does Alien do it? Magic, my friends, probably magic.

Um, can you kill Phantom since this is his comic? Or will Mandos bring him back to life?

Oh, I'm sure The Phantom won't mind.

By the way, nice death for The Phantom, Mr. Goomba. It was a bit surprising, but so perfect!

I notice you're all assuming that The Phantom is about to die. Interesting, that.
And BEAR HANDS was a semi deliberate typo. It was accidental, but then I decided to keep it because it amused me.

You're saying that he's not? Aww. But it would be so cool!

So the Showdown ends. Who wins? Find out.... NOW!
Don't forget that if you've lost track of The Phantom and Alien in these confusing and silly stories I'm weaving around, you can look back though the... PHANTOM AND ALIEN COMIC ARCHIVE THING Whoo! Wasn't that exciting? Things aren't quite over yet. A few lose ends to tie up. Where's Death? What will happen to John Fillis? What's Alien going to do with that bus? What will Barry do with that scythe? And what, just what, is that smell?

I hasten to point out that it's not over yet.

Clearly, seeing the Phantom uncloaked is a painful experience.

Philip's head's fallen off. Should have made that more obvious.

The more and more I look at this, the more disturbing it gets! I didn't realise that Philip's body was still in the cloak. So Peter is handling his dead father's body...

Get your news faces on and burn your nose out!
Poor old John Fillis... Don't forget that if you've lost track of The Phantom and Alien in these confusing and silly stories I'm weaving around, you can look back though the... PHANTOM AND ALIEN COMIC ARCHIVE THING BET YOU NEVER EXPECTED THAT!! It all makes sense when you think about it. Well, not really.

P.S. The Phantom and Alien this week was muchly laugh-worthy. EDIT: I like how the blurb that goes with the P and A this Sunday is the same as last.

"Tree Kidnaps on the Rise?" "Oddwen Captures Another?"

As this series winds down, it's time for Death to let lose a bit.
WARNING! CONTAINS GROTESQUE NUDITY! Don't forget that if you've lost track of The Phantom and Alien in these confusing and silly stories I'm weaving around, you can look back though the... PHANTOM AND ALIEN COMIC ARCHIVE THING I hope you're not completely traumatised. This will be the last Thursday episode of the series. There's not that much left, just a bit of a round up. But there's more to look forward to! Dennis! Legate! Mr Mop! Davem! And an epic final end!

That last panel of Peter, his expression looks so much like the real Phantom that I'm really creeped out right now.

I did play around with the idea of having him shave his head before the end of the series.
