I think the cover is not an original art by Sy Barry. The left hand of Phantom has six fingers. I think it is a mistake. Congratulations for the blog. I like it. Ciro Balzano
Ciro: Nice catch! I hadn't noticed that before. According to my research, it was, indeed a Sy Barry. My guess is, it started out as a thumb and was incorrectly finished as a finger in the inking stage?
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!!"
