Great work by Jim Aparo. While I've never been a fan of the long underwear crowd, I've got to say The Phantom is becoming the exception, probably because it's more of an adventure comic than the usual superhero fare. In fact, I'm so inspired, I'm going to draw a picture of him.
O Solis: The Phantom has a weird sort of magic all its own. And hey, if you want to e-mail me that picture when you're done, I'll be happy to post it on our Phan Art page along with the others Lysdexicus and I have drawn.
Before there was Superman or Batman or Spider-Man, there was The Phantom. Playwright and cartoonist Lee Falk introduced The Phantom to the world in 1936.
Since then, The Phantom has run continuously in newspapers around the world, gaining a following in Europe, Asia, South America, Australia and New Zealand. He has spawned films adaptations, paperback novels, an animated television show and several comic book series.
I have been drawn to the Phantom by his unique backstory-one of the best in sequential media. This blog will let me share with others the exciting world of "The Ghost Who Walks, Who Cannot Die...The Phantom!!"
