The critically acclaimed, best selling complete reprint of The Phantom
dailies 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 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 – it has frequently been copied but never equaled.
Volume Seven presents four complete continuities, reprinted for the first time
in their entirety, “Princess Valerie,” “Queen Asta of
Trondelay,” “Mister Hog,” and “Romance of the Vesta
Pirates.”
