The critically acclaimed, best selling complete reprint of The Phantom
continues!
Referred to by comic strip historian Maurice Horn as the
“granddaddy of all costumed superheroes,” The Phantom was created in
1936 by Lee Falk. 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 - it has frequently been copied but never
equaled.
This exciting 24th volume continues the SY BARRY YEARS!
Reprinted in all its black and white glory, journey with Hermes Press as we
