Phantom Hc Vol 27 The Complete Newspaper Dailies Previously Offered Thru Diamond

Volume #27 features one of the most important stories in The Phantom canon, “The Phantom Wedding” ranked among the best tales of the Ghost Who Walks ever written. 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.
