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 25th volume continues the SY BARRY YEARS! Reprinted in all
its black and white glory, journey with Hermes Press as we bring you
three complete continuities drawn by Sy himself: "The Curse of the
Sacred Image," and "The Normal Life," and "The Cavelands." Strips from
this issue are taken directly from King Feature's proofs. Included in
the volume is a comprehensive essay and documentary materials.
