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 29th volume continues the SY BARRY YEARS!
Reprinted in all its black and white glory, journey with Hermes
Press as we bring you four complete continuities drawn by Sy
himself which continue adventures of The Phantom, Diana, and his
two children: “Gooroo's Jungle,” “The Hostages” “The
Phantom's Vacation,” and “The Return of Gooroo's Mob.” Strips
from this issue are taken directly from King Feature’s proofs.
Included in the volume is a comprehensive essay and documentary
materials.
