The critically acclaimed, best selling complete reprint of The Phantom continues!

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.
Included in this volume are six complete continuities, reprinted for the first time in their entirety, “The Calyle’s Good Mark,” “The Crybaby” “The Underwater Diamond Thieves,” “The Betrothal,” “The Swamp Rats,” and “Oogooru and the Witchmen.” Strips from this issue are taken directly from King Feature’s proofs.
