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 23rd volume continues the SY BARRY YEARS! Reprinted in all its black and white glory, journey with Hermes Press as we bring you eight complete continuities drawn by Sy himself: "The Fence," and "The Mysterious Ambassador," "The Vultures," "The Lost City of Pheenix," and "The Witchman," "The Tanker-Jackers," "The Keeper of the Peace," and "The Giant of Kaluga." from this issue are taken directly from King Feature's proofs.
