12 Days of Christmas 2012! "Night Prowler!" by Wein and Wrightson

Season's Greetings, Groove-ophiles! Today we kick off 12 Days of Christmas 2012 with an all-time fave, "Night Prowler!" from House of Mystery #191 (January1971). At around the same time writer Len Wein and artist Bernie Wrightson were pooling their talents on the creation of Swamp Thing, they knocked out this three-page charmer that played upon those hopes and fears the carolers are always singing about. Young Groove first took notice of this Christmas classic when it was reprinted in the second tabloid-sized Christmas with the Super-Heroes (Limited Collectors' Edition #C43, November 1975), and I've read it most every Christmas since. Enjoy!
