Who is the Ghost Who Walks... also known as the Phantom? Over four
hundred years ago, a cabin boy to Admiral Christopher Columbus grew
to become an explorer and a mighty sea captain... but unfortunately
met his end as he fell prey to pirates, leaving his son alone. As
the lone survivor of a pirate attack, the young man swore to devote
his life to the destruction of cruelty and injustice...as the
nemesis of pirates everywhere He was the first to take upon himself
the title of the Phantom His son and his son's sons-generation
after generation-succeeded him in the crusade. Their faces masked,
they were loners who lived lives of mystery and danger... moving in
and out of shadows... stalking... feared by evil-doers
everywhere... Thus generations of Phantoms lived, fought, and
died-usually violently-as they followed their oath. Jungle folk,
sea folk, and city folk believed him always to be the same man, and
so the legend grew-the legend of Kit Walker... the
Man-Who-Cannot-Die... the Ghost Who Walks... the Phantom Only the
pygmies knew that, always, a day would come when their great friend
would lie dying. Then, alone, a strong young son would carry his
father to the burial crypt of his ancestors where all the Phantoms
rested. As the pygmies waited outside, the young man would emerge
from the cave, wearing the mask, the costume and the skull ring of
the Phantom upon his strong hand; his carefree days as the
Phantom's son over. Then the pygmies would chant their age-old
chant, "The Phantom is dead. Long live the Phantom." This story of
"The Legend of the Phantom" is the story of the father of the first
Phantom and an adventure of the Phantom of our time as he discovers
his roots, heritage and the origin of his rings. To good people and
criminals alike, in the jungle, on the seven seas, and in the
cities of the world, he is known as the Phantom; the Ghost Who
Walks... the Man Who Cannot Die
