Review/plot:
After sitting and having a one way conversation with the Man-Thing about Ruth Hart...

...Richard Rory sees a girl fleeing through the swamp from a group of masked men.

He helps the dancer, Sybil Mills, escape with the Man-Thing's incidental help.

It turns out that they are Viet Nam vets that were scarred by napalm.

Their leader was the girl's brother, and they were going to kidnap her as a way to attract attention to the plight of returning vets.

Good story.
