Other Notes
|
Tramp has a lot in common with the Riders on the Storm and the Ghost Riders in the Sky (and Ghost Rider himself). For him, immortality is a curse. All he can do is ride (or fly) around on Iron Horse. He seems to be working up the speed to break Earth's gravity so he can shoot into the Sun and end his incessant riding around the same highways, over and over for eternity.
It is not clear what this has to do with Iron Horse. Perhaps he made a devil's bargain, saying he'd do anything to ride that horse forever... and now he has to. He can stop long enough to use drugs and booze to dull his angst. Worse, time seems to travel faster for him; our day may just be his hour, so his eternity is even longer. It would not be surprising if he tried to act in a way that would provoke someone to try to kill him; which frankly might be an act of mercy. Like the aging-but-deathless Tithonus of myth, Tramp is ultimately a tragic figure, doomed like a ghost to ride the endless highway. |
