- The first, original, and best masked hero to ever grace the pages of comic
strips and comic books returns with Hermes Press' new complete reprint of The
Phantom! Referred to by comic strip historian Maurice Horn as the
"granddaddy of all costumed superheroes," The Phantom was created in 1936
by Lee Falk with artwork by Ray Moore. The strip hit the funny pages of
newspapers well before the Dark Knight or Superman made their first appearances
and has been acknowledged as an influence on every "masked man of mystery"
since. The Phantom set the standard for action, adventure, intrigue, and
romance in adventure comic strips and comic books.- Now, Hermes Press will offer the entire run of the comic strip, which will
span over seventy years of The Phantom legend, ending with artist Sy
Barry's run on the strip in 1994. As with Hermes Press' critically acclaimed
reprint of Buck Rogers in the 25th Century, the new definitive reprint of
The Phantom will introduce the strip to a whole new generation of readers
and give fans of the "Ghost Who Walks" a chance to revisit the series all over
again.
