The Phantom: The Ghost Who Walks (Lee Falk’s…)

    (Marvel, 1995)
™ and ©1995 King Features Syndicate

Deep in the jungle of equatorial Africa, an enigmatic purple-clad man has achieved legendary status as a protector of the innocent, and the scourge of evil. The Phantom is believed to be immortal, and so is called the Ghost Who Walks. In reality the Phantom is an identity handed down from father to son for 400 years. Incredibly, each Phantom not only sired a son, but a son that agreed to join the “family business” to avenge the death of the first Phantom’s father at the hands of pirates.

Lee Falk, who previously created Mandrake the Magician, scored again with this mysterious jungle-based hero. The Phantom was one of the first costumed adventurers, debuting in newspaper comic pages in 1936. This three-issue mini-series from Marvel, in 1995, featured art by Glenn Lumsden with coloring by the writer, Dave DeVries.
