The Phantom The Complete Newspaper Dailies cover

The critically acclaimed reprint of the Ghost Who Walks continues! Thefirst three volumes are already sold out so act fast and pick up the fourth inthe series as soon as you can! The first, original, and best masked hero toever grace the pages of comic strips and comic books returns in the fourthvolume of Hermes Press’ new complete critically acclaimed reprint of ThePhantom. Referred to by comic strip historian Maurice Horn as the“granddaddy of all costumed superheroes,” The Phantom was created in1936 by Lee Falk with artwork by Ray Moore. The strip hit the funny pages ofnewspapers well before the Dark Knight or Superman made their first appearancesand has been acknowledged as an influence on every “masked man ofmystery” since. The Phantom set the standard for action, adventure,intrigue, and romance in adventure comic strips and comic books – it hasfrequently been copied but never equaled.
